Thinking about this more, as well as #1356 and various other tickets related to output formats, I think there's a missing plugin hook for formatting results, separate from register_output_renderer (or maybe part of it, depending on #1101).

Right now, as I understand it, getting output in any format goes through the normal view stack -- a table, a row or a query -- and so by the time register_output_renderer gets it, the results have already been truncated or paginated. What I'd want, I think, is to be able to register ways to format results independent of where those results are sent.

It's possible this could be done using conn.row_factory (maybe in the prepare_connection hook), but I'm not sure that's where it belongs.

Another option is some kind of registry of serializers, which register_output_renderer and other plugin hooks could use. What I'm trying to avoid here is writing a plugin that also needs plugins for formats I haven't thought of yet.
