I am not sure, if this patch is 100% correct

but it does something

the name is not ECMA but XSD - I hope, so both formats are same

that format works for me. in fact a simple test to see if it would do what i hope for would be to open the developer console (firebug, web developer, etc) of a browser and take the formatted output and pass it to the Date constructor - eg using chrome:

> var a = new Date('2011-12-06T22:46:53.455866+01:00');
      Date
> a.toDateString();
      "Tue Dec 06 2011"
> a.toTimeString();
      "16:46:53 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)"

you can see that the Date was properly created with the time converted to my local time zone. this would be of great help to anyone passing data from postrgres to a web browser since it eliminates the need to have to transform the format somewhere between the database and the browser.

i'm not familiar with the process of getting this feature added to postgres - what needs to happen now?
