You have a point there. However, open source standardization doesn't
have to be patterned after closed source efforts. OTOH it's hard to
predict what form it should take. Perhaps it's simply a matter of
cross-pollination, i.e., the kind of interaction with MySQL groups that
occurred over the last year (I realize it wasn't just or even primarily
SQL-related).
