[plt-scheme] Request for pretty-printing in webserver

I'm not sure, but I suspect it does that for efficiency reasons. 

One thing you can do when you're debugging is to use Emacs to turn the
file into something slightly more readable by replacing > with >^J. You
can do this with these keystrokes:

  M-x replace-string
  >
  >^Q^J

Or, you can write a little script that reads in the xml and displays it
back out again when you read it.

Or, were you wanting to do this for other than debugging reasons?
