One more link... this http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2003-12/msg00049.php was the final draft of the patch I submitted, with docs patches, that did not break backward computability (did not rip out the old syntax) and supported both input and output of ISO-8601 compliant intervals by setting the datestyle to "iso8601basic" as discussed in the thread linked in the quoted article below. It was applied http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2003-12/msg00253.php and then debated http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2003-12/msg00202.php and then unapplied http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2003-12/msg00030.php on Peter Eisentraut's recommendation to implement SQL standard intervals first.
