Ok, my first attempt can be seen here: http://svana.org/kleptog/pgsql/page.sgml.txt I don't know whatever SGML format this is using, so the layout is not great, but the information should be accurate. I used it to create a program to dump the datafiles directly without the postmaster :).

Well, I have included the names of the structures involved. Do you think it's worth adding filenames given that TAGS makes tracking them down easily enough? I can put in dates if you like. Issues to be dealt with: - Do I need to say more about TOAST? - Indexes? - Split into sections - How much detail is enough/too much?
