While it would be an appreciated effort to create such a document (and we
already try to document standards-compliance in other places), it would be
of less practical use than it might seem at first. Most SQL database
packages implement all kinds of functions that are found nowhere near the
SQL standard. PostgreSQL has copied a number of these and added aliases
and near-aliases in a number of other cases. We don't all program in ANSI
C or C++ these days either. What is portable is a bit of a matter of
experience and research, modulo good code organization so you can replace
the unportable parts easily.
