Expected?  Should?  The driver should implment SQLXML, but since that
hasn't happened yet, it's expected that the only way to deal with it is
via Strings.  You can get around your original complaint via the
stringtype=unspecified URL parameter so you don't have to go through
PGobject, but long term we should use SQLXML.
