Actually, I've been wondering about better ways to handle this. One thought is to come up with a non-human readable format that could easily be cut and pasted into a website that would then provide something easy to understand. Ideally that website could also produce graphical output like pgAdmin does, since that makes it trivially easy to see what the 'critical path' is. -- Jim C.
