My personal opinion on this is that there are a lot of different
ideas about how the XML should/could be written, and a the current
output can be piped to a script in <insert favorite scripting
language here> to format to match anyone's wish. Rather than have
psql decree the one and true format or include so many as to make
maintainability burdensome, further formatting is best left to the
end user.
