I don't agree with these changes. You make it sound like serializability is
an additional condition on the serializable isolation level on top of the
no-phantom-reads condition. I think that is not true, both mathematically
and from the wording of the SQL standard. It is an equivalent condition or a
consequence, depending on how you view it.
