I have a fairly simple extension I want to add to contrib. It is an XML parser that is designed to work with a specific dialect.
I have a PHP extension called xmldbx, it allows the PHP system to serialize its web session data to an XML stream. (or just serialize variables) PHP's normal serializer is a non-standard home grown format that it impossile to read. The xmldbx format may not be too much easier, but I have a format document for it. I also have a PostgreSQL extension that can take serialized data and use it in a query, like: select xmldbx('data.userdata.id', sessions.data); If the PHP variable has $userdata['id'] set to some varible in its session data, it will be returned. This allows a lot of flexability and a tight integration between PostgreSQL and PHP.
