What specification are you talking about?

Since replication is sold as a separate product from Oracle 10g,
obviously not.

We *know* (particularly those of us that have had involvement in
actually implementing replication systems used in production
environments) that "user space" implementations of replication can
function satisfactorily.  We've implemented it.

You might be able to convince us that implementing replication inside
the backend is preferable, but you'll have to have exceedingly strong
evidence in order to overcome the already known factor that doing it
outside the backend works quite well.
