That's a rather big analysis, I'm afraid.
I have looked at a few areas and written about them here:
http://troels.arvin.dk/db/rdbms/
Note that my focus is not PostgreSQL in particular.
My todo list at http://troels.arvin.dk/db/rdbms/TODOs.en.html lists some
additional areas that I would find interesting to explore next, but it
will only happen slowly.

That's always a possibility. But don't set your expectations too high:
PostgreSQL is actually not as standards-compliant as I, for one, had
thought. And the lack of most of SQL:2003's new OLAP features will
probably not make a great marketing text, unless some nice people
implement them, so that it can be said that the next PostgreSQL version
will bring about all this and that new, SQL:2003-compliant feature.
