They don't seem too interested in doing them. The following is
from 

http://www.mysql.com/documentation/mysql/commented/manual.php?section=Missing_Triggers

"The planned update language will be able to handle stored procedures,
but without triggers. Triggers usually slow down everything, even
queries for which they are not needed."

Among other missing items are sub-queries and views, although they are
on the list to be implemented.
