I think this is getting off topic, but I don't understand what you're trying to say here. That's probably partially due to your odd usage of the word "so" - I think you mean to use it as "that" (which it doesn't mean), and not as "because" (which its meaning is much closer to).
You might also want to elaborate a bit more so that people have enough context to work around your grammar ;)

Anyway, are you saying:
1. PostgreSQL doesn't support SRF's (It does though)? Or that,
2. ANSI SQL doesn't support SRF's? Or that
3. PostgreSQL's implementation of SRF's is not compatible with the ANSI SQL definition?

Or something entirely different?
