We did, too.  I can only vaguely remember the arguements in X3H2 now.



Basically, we said that there is equality and there is grouping, as in
GROUP BY.  NULLs fail equality, but get grouped together.  The
REFERENCES clause uses grouping and not equality.



As we used to say about OS/JCL, it makes perfect sense after you work
with it for decade :)
