1) The "ISP" case, where you want to hide all catalog information from the users except the database owner or superuser.
I don't believe this is ever feasible in practice, since client interfaces at any level higher than libpq will need to access metadata corresponding to the data they are retrieving.
In the general case you might well be right. Following a scheme like I have in mind is not something that would be transparent to the application - it will probably impose some serious limits on the app. The little sample application I did for testing did everything by stored procedure. Anyway, as I said, it's a project for the future.
