The TAG has recently given some attention telcons to the question of Binary XML and to the conclusions of the XML Binary Characterization Working Group [1]. I've recently become aware of an analysis by Andrew Layman and Don Box that may be of interest [2]. I believe their work supports the following conclusions: * An alternative to binary XML, Andrew and Don show that a LISP-like text syntax "(...) may optimize better than the existing "<...>" approach. * As some of us stated repeatedly, detailed experimental measurements and even formal performance models are essential to justifying any particular approach to optimization. I suggest we consider these important results in any future discussions.
