Hi, I just finished upgrading a 3.8 system to 4.1 and performing a fresh install on a system that previously had Linux installed on it. Naturally while performing these upgrades I had to occasionally consult the OpenBSD documentation (FAQs on installation/upgrading). The existing documentation worked fine (i.e. I never felt a need to go find another set of guides).
I personally have never found any of these other 'guides' that are maintained outside of the OpenBSD project useful, mainly because of a fear that the information will be stale due to the fact it is not maintained by a developer. As for your prototype specifically, I can understand what you are doing, but in order to make sure you capture all the info that is covered in the FAQ for install/upgrade (http://openbsd.org/faq/faq4.html), your guide would quickly grow much larger. Plus, the FAQ is hyperlinked into different topic areas so one can jump around easily, whereas your guide is linear.
