Concerning that statement: For many years, "persistent DOM" implementations have proposed a clever binary file structure backuped by memory indexes that sticks to DOM API. This architecture helps infinitely when you deal with huge XML files. The fact that these binary DOMs are not of common usage is probably only the lack of a (open and standard) reference implementation. PS: please note the semantic difference between binary XML and binary DOM. A binary DOM requires as few parsing, mapping or translation as possible to be immediately usable by the library.
