I just migrated from 9.2.4 to 9.6.1 and had several user created
functions fail.

Recreating the failure with "SELECT xmlelement(name foo,
'infinity'::timestamp)
ERROR: timestamp out of range
DETAIL: XML does not support infinite timestamp values.

I don't find anything in the documentation that explains this. I
consider this a regression.

I have many tables that have a "starting" and "ending" timestamp that
default to "-infinity"
and "infinity" respectively. Any function I have that outputs xml
containing those columns
have to have those values cast to text.
