You are right that the OLAP option is only available on Enterprise Edition.
However, my reading of the OLAP manuals indicates that a number of the analytic functions, such as lead/lag/rollup in SQL statements, are not explicitly listed as part of the OLAP option and *may* therefore be available in Standard. (Confirmation from Oracle appreciated!)
On re-reading, I see a potential confusion - the 'most in this category' was meant to refer to the 'whole pile of things', not 'most at no added charge'. Thanks for pointing that out.
