I am not sure why it's phrased that way --- surely the code to hack on
is the client side, not the backend.  Otherwise you need a protocol
revision to make this happen, which implies hacking *both* ends.

psql already has some code to output results as HTML tables; I'd think
adding functionality in that vicinity would be the way to go.
