Nothing I know of, unless Markus has ideas.

Actually, I wonder whether the default in Emacs should be something
other than the "screen" output -- maybe RIS? We'd be distributing the
refdb-mode.el package along with the ris.el package anyway, and to my
eyes at least, that package give a nice, readable, syntax-highlighted
view of the data.

But that is all said without having much insight in the use cases for
the various output types for the data. I guess I can see the advantages
of the 'screen' format when you're looking at the data in a shell, but
what's the value of viewing it that way in Emacs? Just the brevity?

Yes, I was just being lazy there. I can add config options to allow you
to specify which modes you prefer for XML and SGML and HTML output.
But let me know what modes you have in mind. These days, I only work
with XML and XHTML myself, and only use nXML, but I know other people
need to work with SGML and psgml, and maybe with other HTML modes.
