Should we consider doing something about that, or is it okay as-is?
I'd say yes, but i don't understand why xmlelement() doesn't call
map_sql_value_to_xml_value() already instead of calling the output function
directly?

map_sql_value_to_xml_value() currently errors out with a more or less vague
error message, when a date or timestamp datatype with an infinite value is
converted to XML. This is likely to create some confusion, especially when
you have to debug some complex procedures and involved XML conversio
