Jérôme, I have the feeling that defaulting it to true is not really the right thing to do. I think you don't need very often to have the XML output in a fashionable way and it will by default consume more resources for nothing. Because most of the time xml is not meant to be consumed by humans (except debugging).
Moreover, IE or FF are both able to display XML trees. If you use curl to test your XML Restlet, just do somthing like this : curl url | xmllint --format - And you are done.
