I like the idea of output formatting. The way I use qpy templates I
end up with pretty unreadable XHTML on the client when you view
source. That makes it more difficult to debug layout issues during
development.
Here's a patch to the previous slash.qpy that pretty prints the XHTML
doc before it heads to the client.
