Yes, but keep it in the notification baton then. Even better, turn off
notification completely be setting notify_func2 in the client context to
NULL in this case. You don't want any notification on stdout when
generating XML.

I think that'd be cleaner.

Please tell me what you think is complicated in the above. It adds more
info than the column-based output provides. I think that's good because
the information is available and can easily be filtered by the receiving
application. I created some hierarchical structure to make the info easier
to get. Since many fields have a limited set of values, I defined them as
enumerated attributes, which I think is good since it is an explicit
formal definition. I tried to make the markup descriptive so it is easier
to understand for a human (who has to design the parser) and I don't think
verbosity is a problme here.

Note that this is not a "why my design is best" kind of reply. I just
wanted to clarify my reasons, which I should have done in the previous
mail. (And note that the above is invalid XML, since comments aren't
allowed inside attribut lists.)

Hope this clarifies,
//Peter
