Pardon me, sir, but you are simply nuts. I have had no problems with your set of example 'problems'. Dates, numbers, L10N, etc; these are all well solved in existing RDBMSes. Even if you were to provide me with some RDB that exhibited these problems, that would be solely an implementation detail, not a function of its theoretical foundation.
