I haven't had a chance to look carefully, but this looks like a really
useful addition.  I have a couple of places where I could use it.

A quick comment on the name.  We are starting to get a lot of plugins
on CPAN which is fantastic, but perhaps we should think about
separating the names out a bit.  Since your plugin deals with the way
results are sent to the browser, how about
CGI::Application::Plugin::Output::XSV?  I can see other modules in
that same vein (like CGI::Application::Plugin::Output::PDF).  It gives
a bit more of a hint as to what the module does, and helps to organize
the plugin namespace.

Cheers,

Cees
