FYI.... although I remain a +1 on KISS and emitting "infinity", for
those of you still yearning after a standards-based implementation,
there is a StackOverflow post which hints at sections 3.5 and 3.7 of
ISO8601:2004.
Unfortunatley I can't find a link to an ISO8601:2004 text, so you'll
have to make do with the SO quoted extracts instead....

If you want to do that then store that in your date/timestamp data and
we'll output it. But we're not going to silently convert infinity to
anything else:
andrew=# select to_json('99999-12-31'::timestamptz);
to_json
------------------------------
"99999-12-31T00:00:00-05:00"
cheers
