Si, though I would prefer to think of it as a "feature omission" since
it would have accepted a date sometimes (if the day of month was greater
than 12) :)

postgres=> show DateStyle;
NOTICE: DateStyle is Postgres with US (NonEuropean) conventions
postgres=> select 'Wed 06 Jan 16:10:00 1999 EST'::datetime;
----------------------------
Wed Jan 06 21:10:00 1999 GMT
(1 row)

Will apply to the development tree soon...
