Hi,

Foreign keys need support in SE to fix the first item.  Cascading
operations don't work for triggers, but even worse, they don't work for RBR
replication if a) storage engines differ on master and slave or b) the
slave lacks the constraints.  This is because InnoDB does cascade
operations internally, because the SE interface doesn't support foreign
keys, thus the cascade operations only work on the slave if the SE matches
and the constraints match.  This basically is a RBR/pseudo-SBR mix that
simply doesn't work.
