Agreed; for some time I added additional formatting in text/html
literals (which really makes for messy looking code) to make my
debugging job easier but formatting the response is much easier.

Maybe now that ElementTree is part of standard Python, some
variation of your patch might make it into Publisher, or at least
into one of the QP or Dulcinea demo packages, depending on where in
the quantum placet continuum this ability falls.

If a generalized pretty printer/output parser were included, a check
of (Publisher) not self.is_live_host() before proceeding would be
appreciated.
