Hello all;

I have posted a lower-res version of my .jpg to the following relevant bug:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183216

I'm signed on to the list now, so comments can either be there or here. I'm
looking for feedback on aesthetics, functionality, style, organization, etc.

Please don't tell me I should use/should have used dia; I tried using it in
conjunction with the work-in-progress that Dave posted, and found it to be
primitive and ugly. I'm much more familiar with CorelDraw, and own a copy
(five years old, but still completely functional) so that's what I went
with.

One thing I'd appreciate feedback on: the arrow-labels on the old 2.16
diagram (really the 2.14 diagram pasted into 2.16 documentation) were of the
format 'parent-field = child-field'. That didn't look at all right to me,
and I couldn't uncover any sort of standard, so I've reversed it (as well as
adding the table name), and it 'feels' better.

Pleased to meet you all, and glad to be of assistance. Thanks, Dave, for
putting up with my silly questions, and hand-holding me through the early
parts of my contribution. :)
