I've been thinking similar thoughts while working on the formatter chain of mojomojo. I think there might be two distinct types of formatters tho, formatters that can work on streams, and formatters that work on distinct pieces of content.

I also think there might be some benefit to providing some more pluggable basic formatters, like html or other text markup, where other formatters can hook into the apropriate place. I guess Web::Scraper is already like that in a way.
