A lot of the ANSI/ISO behavior is broken if TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
does
not include the time zone. One of the least standards compliant areas
of
PostgreSQL is the date/time arithmetic; but any attempt to implement
the
standard date math will fail until the time zone is part of the WITH
TIME
ZONE data types.
