That was the idea, yes. Personally, I don't think it's possible; that's
probably the reason why MySQL 5.0 is two years late. I think eventually
MySQL AB will have to come to terms with the idea that they have two seperate
products, MySQL and MaxDB, and the two can't be made compatible.

Absolutely. I personally still hope that adopting MAX DB is their
biggest fault.
Please take some time and look at the MAX DB sources - it is the most
ugly thing I have ever seen in my live.
