what's the plan about deploying the PDF compression?
I thought about something like introducing a new
top-level section:

<GlobalOptions>
    <GlobalOption name="compression" value="'true'"/>
</Globals>

For text and HTML output, it will be a no-op for now or
maybe txt.gz and CHM format could also be produced.
There may be a need for other global options, too.

And another idea with another top-level section:

<Queries>
  <Query name="'query1'">select * from table1;</Query>
  <Query name="'query2'">select * from table2;</Query>
</Queries>

<Report query="'query1'">
...
</Report>

It would be useful for the long term (read: self-contained
reports, visual report editor)  to be able to specify
the queries in the report XML, sometimes you don't
need to modify the report's query at all. Two new
API calls can be also added, to get and set the query.
(E.g. Crystal Reports has this feature.)
Although I wonder about the trickier cases, where the
"</Query>" literal occurs inside a string constant
within the SQL query.
