It would be nice to have a "pretty printer" for the various
tools, so that XML would be displayed in a nice indented
colourized format. This would have to be looked at in
some detail, as there are several issues:

- can we colourize a stream? (the tools don't wait until
the full request is received before displaying data)
- what about formatting an XML stream? what if the
stream breaks, etc?
- for the tunnel, which is after all a *TCP* tunnel, and not
just an HTTP tunnel, should we attempt colourization?
on what basis?
- should we provide several views?, e.g. switch
between "raw" and "formatted" data

    This is something that's really beyond the current planned
    scope of NetTool.
