I'd really like such a compression algorithm. But I think that all XML data would profit from one and thus I think there should be only one algorithm for the whole XML (but one that gets supported by all XML readers, editors, ...). cf. my post on http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-query-comments/2000Jun/ CU, Christian
