First, IMHO having unified XML support is a good thing for Postgres.

I still have some questions and suggestions:

At what place do you intend to add your converter ?

I remember someone started abstracting out the FE/BE protocol calls in
server code with an aim of supporting multiple protocols, but stopped
without making too much progress (?)

Also, I would suggest that XML Schema datatypes should be used,
preferrably together with either RelaxNG schema or something from
SQL/XML spec.
