This supports subselects and Unicode.

Is there an argument for moving to it before we start converting lots of 
database stuff? It would prevent us having to write subselect emulation 
cruft.

Is there an argument for moving to it before we get start using Unicode 
throughout? Presumably Unicode support means you can store it as text 
rather than binary.

I love this quote:

Noted Michael "Monty" Widenius, MySQL CTO and co-founder, "Any software 
we release, regardless of version or stage, is free of all known bugs."
