I have bugged our standards reps and here is the feedback I got:

"Yes, SELECT FROM INSERT has indeed made it into ANSI as well as ISO SQL 
standards, but it is not yet visible to the wider world since it was 
introduced after the current version of SQL standard, SQL-2008, came 
out. It will become visible when the next version gets published, which 
is expected either late this year or early next year. It normally takes 
3 to 4 year cycle for a new version of SQL standard to come out."

If you are interested I can send you a PDF of the submission.

Cheers
Serge
