Appropriate Tasks

The recent turmoil concerning the structure task brings up a basic question. What are appropriate (and by inference, inappropriate) tasks for Rosetta Code?

Is Rosetta Code only for tasks appropriate to scripting languages? One comment complained about a task dealing with data representation issues being too low level. It is my understanding that Rosetta Code intends to explore language syntax, capabilities, libraries, and structure through the implementation of specific tasks. Some tasks already exist that are best implemented with SQL or some variation thereof. Why, then is a task focused on representation issues out of bounds.

I agree that the structure task was ill-defined. Is it appropriate to define a new task to demonstrate language capabilities regarding specification of data representations?
