I just posted a patch addressing the TODO item:

"Allow EXPLAIN output to be more easily processed by scripts, perhaps XML"

This is a modified patch originally submitted by Germ?n Po? Caama?o
last year. I added the DTD and some other tweaks.

I did *not* delve much into the ecpg code, other than mildly modifying
prepoc.y by adding the XML and DTD defines. I'm sure more work is
required there.

And, I did not include "Init Plan" and "Sub Plan" in the XML output,
which did not fit into the XML in a graceful way. But, that can also
be revisited.

I think I submitted the patch before its time. The project opened a big
can of worms with the XML output. I'd like to rework it with some of
the comments I received.

The work there was some prep-work for the planner visualizer I've been
working on. I haven't had time to revisit this initial work.
