It could be one approach...but did you know that there is a large InterBase 
SQL document already available?  You can download it from the IBPhoenix 
site.  It might be less effort to bring that document up to date than to 
start from scratch with a document based on non-standard SQL.  Or possibly 
you could merge the two.

I, too, would be interested to hear how Tilo's documentation project is 
going along.  As I recall, David Jencks began a project using XML, which 
Tilo picked up about two years ago...

Currently, there is a Quick Start Guide at IBPhoenix (in English) which IBP 
is making available for anyone who wants to translate it.

IBP has a link for people who want to contribute to future versions of this 
doc.  It is an Adobe PDF which was done in Framemaker.  Currently there is 
a (very rough) export of the source code to Word 7 available to people 
interested in translating it.  So far, it is being translated to French and 
Portuguese.
