They are right. You couldn't even just reference SQLite as it does change with every release so it isn't 100% compatible with itself. Usually the changes are additions so it is no big deal. But some were "mistakes" in earlier versions that were kept to avoid compatibility changes later on. Even if the standard referenced SQLite, it would have to reference a particular version and freeze things at that behaviour. The ongoing SQLite development would then have to have a compile time or runtime way of restricting behaviour to exact compatibility with that reference version.
