common .frm format or discovery mechanism, then there should be a
library and/or a set of helper function for the engine to use. That
way,
an engine can opt to use the .frm files if they feel like it, while
engines that want to do something special can roll it themselves.
Agreed. This is just a default discovery method in my book.
However, I think that the parsing should be handled by Drizzle and
that
a table definition description (a.k.a., "parse tree", but I really
don't
like that term) should be passed to the engine.
I want an engine to be able to handle/read that definition (and
restore it). For Innodb this is a requirement for its catalog (and for
Archive for portable tables).

In general, I prefer narrow interfaces, and allowing the engines to be
responsible for the format and discovery and "just" act at table
factories is much easier for each involved entity while still
maintaining maximum flexibility.
Just my few cents,
