If this works this well, why does HTML not embed images in the HTML page? Would one want to lose the XML payload if the image does not make it, the connection drops, etc.? As long as I can remember, embedding binary in markup has been discouraged. When would putting the binary in the XML be a good idea?

Every value is essentially within a 6-bit range, and every 8th bit is zero. A simple compression scheme based on this info alone would offset most of the expansion. The content transfer encoding/compression that may be employed in, say, an HTTP transmission should do much better than this.
