Proposal to resolve ISSUE-22 "vendor specific SQL"

ISSUE-22: Support for database vendor specific SQL statements
http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/rdb2rdf/track/issues/22

The Editor's Draft currently states [1]:

> In places where SQL expressions are allowed, these MUST conform to Core SQL 2008.

PROPOSAL: Resolve ISSUE-22 by adding the following text:

[[
The behavior of otherwise valid R2RML mappings that contain non-conformant SQL expressions is undefined.

If all SQL expressions in an R2RML mapping conform to a specific version of SQL different from Core SQL 2008, then the mapping is known as an *R2RML dialect mapping*. This specification defines no particular behavior for dialect mappings.
]]

Chairs, can we put this on the agenda of a (near-)future call?

Thanks,
Richard
