I don't necessarily consider this search and replace to be appropriate. All
information for users looking for SQL:1999 compliance information is now
lost. Also, phrases like "This is conforming to SQL:2003." give the wrong
impression that it is not conforming to SQL:1999. I think it would be less
confusing in these cases to simply write "This is conforming to the SQL
standard." and then mention in the appendix that we consider SQL:2003 to be
the baseline.
