We didn't support it in D2RQ (except for what you can do with JDBC-ODBC bridges) since we were in a Java environment.

For R2RML neither JDBC nor ODBC are really all that great because both of them are tied so strongly to a particular implementation environment.

But defining a new, third option is of course also bad.

Hence my proposal to POSTPONE.
