Well, pg does output a simple xml format, which can be transformed via
xslt, and yet here's a suggestion for an enhancement to do it differently.
To be more explicit, if you turn on html output and turn off the footer

\H
\pset footer off

what you get isn't always valid HTML, but it does seem to be well-formed XML,
which can be easily transformed to the XML you really want.
