Patrick,

Ok, I don't have a problem putting in the foreign key stuff, as it is
above and beyond the spec, and also something postgres supports.

Kris Jurka did most of the work on the imported/exported keys, he may
have an opinion as well?

As far as  the setCatalog goes, this is probably OK too, if you get it
working, I would support it.
