Default Questions on Levels

Dear Audio Professionals,

Questions on levels:

1. If you backtrack to 0 dB from this wikipedia article

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_level

the reference levels for dBu and dBV are 0.775 VRMS and 1 VRMS,
respectively. Is this correct? Are the reference levels I've given
here exact?

2. Is there a standard for converting from dBFS to dBu? If so,
what is it?

3. If the answer to 2 is yes, then does that standard use FS sine
or FS square?

Thanks for any insights.
