> Patch to add XML output to psql:

This would get me more excited if you do one or both of the following:

1. Look into the SQL/XML standard draft (ftp.sqlstandards.org) to find out
whether the standard addresses this sort of thing.

2. Use an established/standardized XML (or SGML) table model rather than
rolling your own.

Incidentally, the HTML table model is such an established and standardized
XML and SGML table model, so the easiest way to get the task "add XML
output to psql" done is to update the HTML output to conform to XHTML.
That way you get both the strict XML and you can look at the formatted
result with any old (er, new) browser.
