55 of Derby's reserved keywords are not reserved keywords in the ANSI

which are non-reserved keywords in ANSI 2003. Keeping these as
reserved keywords creates migration problems when people try to port
their applications from other databases to Derby. Is there any reason
that these 55 reserved keywords should not be moved to the
non-reserved keyword list?
You *may* end up with some look-ahead problems in the SQL parser if
reserved keywords are moved to non-reserved keywords... Depends on
wether moved keywords are used in any lookahead or not.
