I can't even process that.
After writing my thoughts this makes sense now. Prohibited means that both tables would say not possible. Possible means both tables would say possible. Allowed but not possible means our implementation says not possible and the standard says it is possible. The fourth possibility, not allowed but possible, would mean we are not standard conforming and since we are it never appears.
I would probably choose "not possible (contra-SQL)" and emphasize our implementation and footnote the two differences.
