I won't block on this basis, but there *is* a case for this
separation, and in fact it supports having just these two 
levels of identifier (i.e., rr:tableSchema and rr:tableName 
with no distinct rr:tableCatalog).

The latest EBNF I have to hand is SQL-92, but I believe these
are still valid --

   <schema name> ::= [ <catalog name> <period> ] <unqualified 
   schema name>

   <catalog name> ::= <identifier>

   <unqualified schema name> ::= <identifier>

   <qualified local table name> ::= <qualified identifier>

   <local table name> ::= <qualified identifier>

   <qualified identifier> ::= <identifier>
