Thanks, I was just about to go bisect that for myself.
My recollection is that that commit meant to remove some formats
that we couldn't see any justification for in the ISO 8601 spec.
I'm not sure whether that wikipedia page should be taken
as authoritative, but if we can convince ourselves that
'T14:00:00' really is a thing per 8601, then yeah we should
undo that part. If it's not a thing per the spec, then I'd
tend to say "sorry, but this was intentional to reduce the
code's propensity to accept garbage".
regards, tom lane
