I tend to agree.  In addition to being a huge job, it seems to me that 
it has the potential to introduce errors into the material.  This would 
leave us in the position of having to go back to the manufacturer's 
manuals for the definitive answer to any questions we would have.  So 
you would have done a lot of work but not eliminated the need for the 
manufacturer's manuals.  Or worse one might write buggy code based on 
buggy on-line documentation and then really wonder what was happening as 
the chip was not behaving as the on-line documentation said it should.
