I do this all the time.
I have JDBC code to take a java.sql.ResultSet and push out SAX events
in a standard schema. I also have a XSLT stylesheet that formats them
in a decent way. In this manner, it's very easy for me to make
database-driven webpages. I can inherit the "normal" stylesheet and
then just code the exceptions.
However, I'm quite happy doing this on the client side. I'm not sure
why it would be beneficial to do this as part of the PostgreSQL server.
