Sure, but this document is in AD Evaluation and there are many stages left in
the IESG process, it may still take a fair bit of time before this is done.

I can't speak for any SQL standard features we've committed before being
standardized, it's for sure not the norm for the project. I'm only commenting
on this particular Internet standard which we have plenty of time to commit
before v17 without rushing to beat a standards committee.

Also, if you look you can see that I moved it to the next CF in a vague hope
that standardization will be swift (which is admittedly never is).
