How can it be a simple 8 byte int or float and specify a timezone? This is only a time interval from a fixed date/time. Where is the timezone part?

What can I expect for a date format from a PGresult containing binary

It's either an int8 representing microseconds away from 2000-01-01
00:00:00 UTC, or a float8 representing seconds away from the same
origin.
