Standards compliance is always going to make things easier in terms of
gaining community acceptance if you're targeting in core adoption. At
the very least it will remove one barrier although you might be in for
a slog for other reasons. You may not have known this, but postgres
had a time travel feature waaay back in the day (see:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/6.3/static/c0503.htm) It was removed
for performance reasons and the first thing I'm wondering is how your
stuff performs in various scenarios and various other interesting
things. Also, +1 on use of range types Anyways, thanks for submitting
and good luck!
