Referencing the textbook from Apple Dictionary?

Not having enough experience with wikis, I was wondering if it would be possible to access the TXP tag reference directly from Apple’s Dictionary, either
a) directly much in the same manner as it accesses wikipedia, or
b) by aggregate the information and converting it to a dictionary for offline use.

The Apple Developer Connection Site has some information regarding syntax and other people have successfully converted open-source online dictionaries for use with Dictionary.

I have no idea whether this would be particularly complex or reasonably straightforward with an appropriate script (IIRC a script to transfer the data from one wiki-format to another was being/has been developed that might be a good starting point) but one way or the other I can imagine it being very handy.

Any ideas/takers?
