The SQL:2011 standard replaces previous standards, so I agree: we
should only list the current version of the standard. The previous
versions of the standard are simply no longer relevant.

If people want that, we could have a little text at bottom saying
Changes between 2008 and 2011 etc.. if that really is interesting -
and if it really is then it should be listed as incompatibilities in
the release notes.
