Hi Stefano, if memory serves me right then this is part of the official documentation since 11.1. Stretched RAC was a bit of a hack when it first was implemented and I heard rumors that Oracle initially didn't want to support it. Since 10.2.0.4 this seems to be rather stable, and you can have extended distance clusters (official name) even with 11.1 Standard Edition. Most setups I know use ASM for mirroring (each SAN is its own failure group), and use the preferred mirror read attribute in 11.1 to speed up reads.
