I was on the Kubota website and looking at their L3130/4210/TC29D comparison at http://www.kubotagrandl30.com/comparison/l3130.html . I noticed the Kubota and JD had an Independent PTO and the NH had a Live PTO. What is the difference and what are the pros/cons with each?

I know some older machines and some gear machines still use Transmission PTO. I understand the difference between Transmission PTO and Live PTO. I have also heard it called Live Independent but never Independent PTO. Is it all the same thing?
Also, I was looking at the NH specs at http://www.newholland.com/na/Products/boomer_specs.pdf . I noticed that the mid PTOs were all listed as "Live 2000 RPM" except once you hit the TC35D. Then it changes to "2000 RPM (DIA)". What does this mean? That is, why did they drop the "Live" and add the "(DIA)" and what does "(DIA)" stand for?
