Paul,

Why is this not recommended, it would (unless there is a good reason why),
be my upgrade path from 5.6 -> FB1.0. It gives the corporates the feeling
that if there is a problem, that they could regress to 5.6.

I haven't tried with 1.0, but I'm sure I have done exactly this with earlier
builds. For one of my sites it give the best of both worlds for the time
being (BDE .....), they will hopefully be usign FB as a backup / replication
server to demonstrate it can stay up and is happy with a lot of changes over
an extended period of time.

I realise that this is completely flawed if the execution path within FB is
completely different for Dialect1 and Dialect3 databases.
