Not really; what of applications other than shell scripts that would
like to get XML-formatted output?
There was some talk in the FE/BE protocol thread of adding hooks to
support more than one output format from the backend. Much of the
infrastructure already exists (see DestReceiver in the backend); we
just need an agreement on the protocol. On the whole I'd rather see
it done that way than burying the logic in psql.
