I recall that most mentions of "SQL:1999" were specially not spelled "SQL
standard" because the feature was not present in earlier versions.  That is,
we gave the version number only when it was important.  Now by replacing that
with "SQL:2003" leads ad absurdum and should just be replaced with "SQL
standard".

Unless you also plan to replace all mentions of "SQL standard" with
"SQL:2003".
