Oh... just noticed something else relevant to this discussion: SR 13
in the same section saith

  13) If R is an SQL-invoked function, then no <SQL parameter declaration>
  in NPL shall contain a <parameter mode>.

In other words, the spec does not have OUT or INOUT parameters for
functions.  So, again, their notion of what is sufficient to identify
a routine is based on a very different model than what we are using.
