This almost smells like a totally separate interface, rather than a simple
modification to the current one.  Perhaps for the interim someone (i.e. not
me) could write up a:

pgdb.xmlify(connection.query(foo))

Or something vaguely like this. This would also make sure that we fully
fleshed out the introspection of result sets.  I would further propose that
any DTD information be shared with the DB-SIG as a whole.  mxODBC for
example has pretty good introspection last time I looked, as does DCOracle I
hope (since I'm its maintainer).
