I strongly disagree with this proposal. First of all, while I concede that some current servers may benefit from this, this limitation would apply even to those servers that are not split in the manner Alan describes, and so it penalizes the strong implementations for the sake of the weak. Second, even for servers that do maintain the split, it is not hard for them to parse the query and route the parts to the RDBDS and full text engines.
