http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_localization#Sound_localization_in_the_median_plane_.28front.2C_above.2C_back.2C_below.29

has a reference to blauert's work, but it's pretty sparse otherwise.

german wikipedia is more detailed:

and yes, you should have a good chance of faking some of those cues. 
haven't tried it myself, though.
