With XSDs right around the corner using ISO 8601 compliant dates, what
are the chances Postgres could fully support them?
The primary difference between that and what it does now is a T for
the date / time seperator rather than a space and the potential for a
Z for the timezone seperator.
I'm convinced this was done to piss me off and enforce conversion
routines for databases to actually accept the information passed.
