I just ran across HTSQL (http://htsql.org/) a few moments ago.  I haven't
looked at it much, yet, but it seems like an intriguing idea.

Suppose we did this:

(1) Add a small assortment of VIEWs and/or VIRTUAL TABLEs to Fossil that
allow things like timelines and branch lists to be queried as if they were
plain old tables.

(2) Add an HTSQL-like interface to Fossil that returns results in either
HTML, XML, or JSON.

(3) Add a single command that lets you easily submit any URL request from
the command-line.  (The "http" command is close to this already, but it
would be better if you could put the URL as an argument on the command-line
rather than having to pipe it into standard input.)

I'm not exactly sure what problem the above solves, but it seems interesting
all the same.  Please do not hesitate to expression confirming or contrary
opinions...
