I suggest we call it "xmlformat", which is an established term for

Some very-very old, rusted memory told me that there was something in
standard – and indeed, it seems it described an optional Feature X069,
“XMLSerialize: INDENT” for XMLSERIALIZE. So probably pretty-printing
should go there, to XMLSERIALIZE, to follow the standard?
Oracle also has an option for it in XMLSERIALIZE, although in a
slightly different form, with ability to specify the number of spaces
for indentation

Hi Nikolay,
My first thought was to call it xmlpretty, to make it consistent with
the jsonb equivalent "jsonb_pretty". But yes, you make a good
observation .. xmlserialize seems to be a much better candidate.
I would be willing to refactor my patch if we agree on xmlserialize.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Jim
