All of these should preserve the text meaning. A few possibly controversial ones:

  • I'm now using the SQL 92 reference from ivoabib rather than a footnote

  • I'm saying "delimited identifier" at least in the section header on "Escape syntax"; I frankly would prefer if we spoke about delimited identifiers rather than escaping throughout -- both because there's no escaping here and because that's what SQL calls them --, but as long as the term appears at least once I won't quibble.

  • I'm lowercasing quite a few MAY-s that I really don't see as RFC-relevant.

  • I'm changing the float placements; for the small tables in the second half, I'm requiring h[ere] placement, as that's what the text needs (not there's inlinetable in ivoatex for that kind of thing). For the huge function tables, I'm loosening things up a bit, and I'm removing the float flusher. If you really want the floats to appear earlier, just pull them up lexcially in the source. But the large empty pages with these tables are not pretty (cf. also my RFC review).

Thanks @msdemlei for your changes.

I am all ok to merge this PullRequest. I just wait for the little introduced typo to be fixed before merging this PR.

ADQL.tex Outdated
has been extended to support queries that are specific to astronomy. Similarly
The VO has a number of tabular data sets, and many of them are stored in relational
databases, making SQL a convenient means of access. A subset of the SQL grammar
has been extended to support queries that are specific to astronomy. Similarl

Similarl does not seem correct. I assume you did not want to introduce a new typo :) Do we keep Similarly or did you want to replace it with Similar?
