Re: BX Proposal

Attached is my evaluation of the BX proposal. I think it meets all the requirements rather well, except that implementing the whole thing is not a one-night hack. Also below is a statement on intellectual property.

The two documents: the original "BX" Proposal for XML Binary Format and the attached Self-Evaluation of the "BX" Proposal are in the public domain. I am the sole author of these documents and I waive all rights of copyright except any that allow me to disclaim any warranty of correctness or fitness for any particular purpose, and I do so disclaim. I hold no patent or other intellectual property interest in any of the mechanisms described and have not filed nor intend to file for patent protection on them. I do not know of any existing patents on any of the mechanisms described but have not made any search to find out if there might be any.
