While we are at it, I should note that date, timestamp, timestamp with TZ
handling inside the existing implementation is pretty weak. I have been able
to create overriding extensions that behave well enough to support filters
and encoding, but a systematic set of test cases in the encoding cases, and
per datastore test cases for  the weird types that each datastore might
provide is required IMHO.

There are also potentially things like forcing the Oracle jdbc driver to
behave in a J2EE compliant mode (and return java.sql.Timestamp instead of
oracle.sql.Timestamp).
