Aside from implementation errors, I've seen no operational problems with DSNs,
only with the DSN extension. The problem there is that some people have
claimed that since NOTIFY=SUCCESS is a part of the base and they don't want to
do it the only alternative is to disable the entire extension. I disagree; I
think that since security concerns are paramount it's perfectly OK to simply
reject NOTIFY=SUCCESS on security grounds.
Perhaps this goes to the challenge of a specification's distinguishing
its essential core, versus desired-but-not-required enhancements.
Fail to support all of the core and it's not valid to claim to support
the specification.
The danger of a pick-and-choose free-for-all is that a claim to support
a specification provides little useful information.
