Does anyone have a comprehensive guide to Delta fare basis codes? I'm looking for more than simply the listing of fare classes at:
http://www.cwsi.net/delta.htm
I did find the following guide to IATA fare bases, which gets me partially there, but it doesn't explain everything that I've seen:

The story behind this question is that I'm trying to figure out why I can't book a certain round trip under some fare bases. ExpertFlyer is showing me the following fares:
(The boldface indicates what I haven't been able to interpret.)
TLX
PV74 DL T Round-Trip 312.00(USD) E 12/24/10 12/26/10 SU / 3M 07
TLX
SL95 DL T Round-Trip 383.00(USD) E 12/25/10 03/31/11 SU / 1M 14
ULX
SL95 DL U Round-Trip 393.00(USD) E 12/25/10 03/31/11 SU / 1M 07
And there is both U and T availability on Delta-coded, Delta-metal flights on those days:

But I can't book this round trip under any of the above fares.
