Yes, I had been thinking that myself, but hadn't got round to mentioning
it to the list yet. (Even if you do accept default precisions for time
& timestamp columns, I can see nothing in the spec that justifies
applying those default precisions to CURRENT_TIME/TIMESTAMP. AFAICS,
the precision of their results when they are given no argument is
just plain not specified.)
