Peter's point is good: the only interface that is actually subject to the
part of the spec you are quoting is ecpg. It could reasonably be argued
that libpq should only support autocommit-on, because that's the
historical behavior that programs written atop libpq expect. The other
client libraries have their own specs to adhere to.
