The consensus standards have been released, you can order them from
www.astm.org
(Stock number: Aircraft04). It's an 80-page document, used in lieu of a
few
hundred pages of conventional FAR. Interesting read. The maintenance
standard
is still under discussion, but it will probably be out soon. The FAA is
having
its first course for DAR-LSAs this month, but I believe a standard DAR
(or, of
course, the local FSDO) can do the safety sign-off for a production LSA.

Is it correct to say that the consensus standards do not apply, when it is a
plans built? How about kit meeting 51% self built rule?

I'm still not exactly sure I understand what an experimental LSA is, and
what hoops must be jumped through.
