"SQL query language" is redundant. Not sure why there's a need to mention ANSI, as it's not as if there are competing SQL92 standards :-) And name-dropping standards bodies is a bit pretentious, IMHO. The "92 scheme specification" isn't SQL92 (as your first sentence implies), it's a part of SQL92. > PostgreSQL has actively been adding ANSI SQL features for many years > and is now one of the most ANSI SQL compliant databases in existence. > [is this true?] Sounds pretty dubious to me. > Maybe we should use this opportunity to build anticipation?

I still think mentioning a release date, even as an"initial target", is not appropriate, particularly since it hasn't been discussed yet on -hackers. But I'm fine with mentioning some of the possible features in 7.4, *provided* that you make it clear that those are tentative plans.
