Just wanted to do another quick check in before I go too far. How do does this start look? Extending the libpq section with a code snippet and description per data type?
If we want to start documenting the binary format for all data types, it should go into the "Data Types" chapter. There, we already document the text format in great detail, so putting the binary format in there as well would make sense.
The libpq chapter could then contain some examples of applying that information in the context of libpq. But the libpq documentation shouldn't be the primary place where the formats are documented.
