After writing my thoughts this makes sense now. Prohibited means that both
tables would say not possible. Possible means both tables would say
possible. Allowed but not possible means our implementation says not
possible and the standard says it is possible. The fourth possibility, not
allowed but possible, would mean we are not standard conforming and since
we are it never appears.
I would probably choose "not possible (contra-SQL)" and emphasize our
implementation and footnote the two differences.
