Well, it is syntactically unclean IMNSHO to have to define a return type
on an SP when you don't really need one, and to have to call it by
saying "select foo(bar)" rather than "call foo(bar)". Also, IIRC PL/SQL
lets you bind host language variables to OUT parameters of such SPs, which
can be quite useful. (It's a year or three since I touched Oracle in
anger.)

I would be mildly surprised if the SQL/JRT standard didn't expect to be
able to bind to static methods of type void.

(The item I quoted is on the TODO list - I didn't invent it ;-)
