Description
Hi, xarray is a superb library but my favorite icing on the cake is the out-of-the-box rich HTML display in Jupyter. I've been finding myself wanting the same thing for every class I use in python that is fundamentally a hierachically structured numerical dataset.
Has there been any discussion of generalizing the whole thing? I'd be happy to give it a shot myself, but I was hoping to pick your collective brains first, especially @benbovy and @jsignell, (who based on my very preliminary github sleuthing were early heavy-lifters?)

Research direction
The issue names xarray's formatting_html functionality and its Jupyter rich HTML display, but no file or test. Start by reviewing that existing implementation and discussing the standalone scope with maintainers; done would be a separately usable library for similarly structured numerical datasets.
