I am not sure, if this patch is 100% correct

but it does something

the name is not ECMA but XSD - I hope, so both formats are same

postgres=# set datestyle TO 'XSD';
SET
postgres=# select current_timestamp;
now
──────────────────────────────────
2011-12-06T21:50:34.142933+01:00
(1 row)

postgres=# select '2011-12-06T22:46:53.455866+01:00'::timestamp;
timestamp
────────────────────────────
2011-12-06T22:46:53.455866
(1 row)

but maybe this will be some more, if XSD format is not exact ECMA
