question about 8.1 and stored procedures - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,
I read in a article/interview on http://madpenguin.org/cms/html/62/3677.html
that work was being done on improving/adding support for sql standard
compliant stored procs/functions

Does anyone know exactly what that means?

Does it mean that Postgres will have stored procs that can have input
and output params?

Thanks,

Tony
