I was just looking at the 8.3.1 documentation on the postgresql web
site.

According to the docs, timestamp with time zone takes less space than
time with time zone with the same resolution.  Is this a documentation
bug?  It makes no sense to me that by storing the date with the time you
can save 4 bytes.
