I'm not sure I understand your question, but I would say I would like
to follow SQL99 as much as possible.
When you say "We do not yet implement the SQL99 forms of character
support", I think you mean the ability to specify per column (or even
per string) charset. I don't think this would happen for 7.3(or 8.0
whatever), but sometime later I would like to make it reality.
