Which is pretty much what you want to build a schemaless nosql-on-postgres.

Also, Posgres already has hstore (already mentioned) and XML columns, which are schemaless and "unstructured".

Well, I'm arguing that flexible schema is better than no schema. And in practice schemaless is only about schema defined outside of database. It's a solution to the wrong problem.
