Review Comment:
   I think it is fine to do either: not take a position at all or take a well 
defined position. There could be a few scenarios where the intended meaning is 
not achieved. For example:
   * One defines the view SQL using a non-SQL string (e.g., some other DSL), 
and still leverages `SQLViewReperesentation` for that. Even if this is 
permitted, it is not clear from the spec if it is okay.
   * The dialect could be the same but not standardized, e.g., dialects such as 
`spark`, `Spark`, `SparkSQL`, `Spark SQL`.
