I think I may have found the file geodatabase documentation promised ... in the online ArecGIS 10 documentation, Administrator Library, Architecture of a geodatabase, Geodatabase XML. It would appear that, in addition to the XML Schema they published several years ago, the XML documentation has been augmented with a view to interoperability being achieved at the XML level. So, maybe no, they have not published the binary structure but they may have published enough to enable XML exchange. I've not read all the material - and I would need to think about much of it before I understood it. Whether there is enough there I cannot say ...
