[Proj] Help translating NAD83 coordinates to WGS84

[John D. Evans]

Hello,

Can someone point me to an authoritative, published (pref. online) 
reference that states an upper bound on the difference between NAD83 and 
WGS84 over North America?

I went looking for such a reference some time ago and the best I could 
find was some NIMA or DMA Technical Report that said the two differed 
"in some places by a meter or more".
