I don't think a consensus was ever reached. It would certainly be better if
this was done on the backend, but that seems to be a long time away, and
some have argued that it is not the job of the engine to do this anyway.

I agree at the very least we should update the HTML ourput for psql: I'll
try to make a patch for that this weekend.

I still think we should at least have a rudimentary xml output option inside
of psql. It won't be perfect, but we can certainly have the flag toggle
a backend variable when/if the backend supports XML directly.
