TBH, I think that inventing a new datestyle setting "ECMA" would be a
more appropriate investment of effort.
So we'd have a setting called "ECMA" that's really ISO, and a setting
called "ISO" that's really SQL, and a setting called "SQL" that's really
Postgres, and a setting called "Postgres" that's also Postgres but
different.
...and a setting called "XSD" that's also ISO.
for now i'm backing away from the ECMA option - what i was thinking of would be exactly the same as "XSD" except rather than a timezone of '+00:00' it would be a 'Z'. from some quick searching, it seems that XSD should be capable of understanding 'Z' rather than '+00:00' so if i was going to do anything i'd work towards making that change to 'XSD'.
i'll be back when i have a clear picture of what i think makes the most sense.
