Things I (as a user) would like to see:

    Common call to enable/disable autocommit. Default would have to be
    'driver specific' for compatibility. Drivers could simply throw
    an exception if a programmer tries to set an unsupported mode.

    A common parameter style supported by all drivers. Or a method
    that convers 'generic' parameter style to 'paramstyle' parameter
    style.

    Whatever additions Digital Creations requires to enable a Generic
    ZopeDA to be written that supports all compliant Python Database API
    drivers (well... drivers that don't throw an exception when 
    con.autocommit(0) is called).
