First, IMHO having unified XML support is a good thing for Postgres.
I still have some questions and suggestions:
At what place do you intend to add your converter ?
I remember someone started abstracting out the FE/BE protocol calls in
server code with an aim of supporting multiple protocols, but stopped
without making too much progress (?)
Also, I would suggest that XML Schema datatypes should be used,
preferrably together with either RelaxNG schema or something from
SQL/XML spec.
