Res = Reserved Word
NRes = Non-reserved word

Blank means in essence - not defined.
So what we need to be aiming for is to fill in the Firebird list to 
match the SQL2003 list. Any Res or NRes in the Firebird list, but not in 
the SQL2003 standard are 'extras'.

The problem of cause is that what the list hides at present is where a 
word is actually used differently between the various columns. The SQL 
ones are on the whole consistent, but do not necessarily match the 
Firebird, MySQL or PostgeSQL use :)

That is why I'm trying to populate the secondary pages and identify the 
uses. The simple glossary is not going to be useful unless the context 
of a words use is established.
