...and using XML introduces a dependency for those that apps that don't already use some XML parser. I realize that since the pool of apps that care to mechanically parse EXPLAIN output is small, it wouldn't necessarily be a big deal to hand each of them a new dependency in the form of a parser for XML, JSON, etc. But we know the least common denominator is to return a set of tuples; let's make sure that really is unworkable before forcing even that dependency. - Josh / eggyknap
