But does this mean that you won't welcome any other initiative or ideas

Again, if two persons (groups) were working on this at the same time, then
you could take ideas from both, ditch one of the implementations and use

Why is this a first step? As I see it, SQL (as in the query language) is a
rather different thing than an "scripting language" or similar (read
"stored procedures").
