What Maciej said is that truly interoperable implementations of the spec 
as currently written are not possible.  This is so because it doesn't 
define the query language at all other than saying it's "SQL".

This says nothing about implementing a spec that actually specifies a 
query language.  (I don't consider "SQL" to be specification of a 
well-defined query language, for reasons raised earlier in this thread.)

This would be very welcome, yes.
