I rather thought of a reference implementation, not a language reference. 
A reference tutorial if you like :-)

A non-theoretical primer for people keen to learn to create (simple) 
databases. An initial nucleus ;-)

Erm - yes. However...

Sort of ... I'm the wrong person for this kind of discussion. I'm a simple 
user, who wants to learn, no, wait, who wants to create his own address book

ever regards himself as appropriate person to discuss dropping components). 

But please help me to create my simple address book :-)
