Should a specification suggest low level optimizations ? Its also needed to delete views. Tables is not enough, and currently I'm not thinking of anything else. So developers need to be educated: drop all tables, drop all views. Would be much more simple to just delete the database explicitly, and should be straightforward for most implementations given that those also need to support their delete private data functionality.
