Not exactly free. You accept URIs, the web system identifier. MPEG4 likes XML too. It is the only thing holding X3D and XMT together. MPEG doesn't always equate to open format (patent encumbered) but that is a different issue. So you are saying the BiM might be a "Standard XML Binary"? Back to WAP: would that work or is it YetAnotherAppSpecificBinary? I'm not saying binaries are evil; just that so far "no size fits all". Calling for a standard binary is a lot more serious and comprehensive and competively constraining then proposing a binary for a given application. Sure, I do understand what an intranet is good for. That is how we use XML too. As an alternative to PSVI. Ok. What was the first choice? This seems to be inflating the requirement before we have a first choice ready. But given that argument, what say the supporters of PSVI to a binary representation? Len http://www.mp3.com/LenBullard Ekam sat.h, Vipraah bahudhaa vadanti. Daamyata. Datta.

Stream formats for medical devices, when I'm asked. Stream formats for video for MPEG7 BiM. Speaking for myself only: Don't care at all about "XML is SGML On The Web". But there are all these nice XML recs and tools implementing these. So I get a big, free deal, if using a binary file format, which can be seen as an alternate external representation of (PSV-) XML Infoset. Of course some plumbing still required.
