I think if we have a proxy that understands FTX and can translate it,
the output format shouldn't be set - have that part be pluggable, so you
could have it output html, or plain text, or anything else we can think
of. Just have the proxy associate an output format with either the IP
or the port of the connection, and the clients can choose which one they
use.
All in theory of course, I don't think I have the time right now to
actually implement any of this :)
