Hello All, I'm new to the xml-dev list, so please forgive (and point out) any stupid mistakes :P The possibility occurred to me the other day that some applications, particularaly those that can send a large number of messages frequently (eg, peer-to-peer programmes) and those with low-bandwidth connections, would benifit from a 'compiled' or 'compressed' form of XML - one in which as much empty space and repetition as possible has been eliminated. The form of compiled XML I was envisaging would have two main aims: 1) To decrease message size, and 2) To make messages easier to parse & read. I have come up with further ideas on this scheme, but I'd first like to know a couple of things: Has this been done before (And if so, can someone point me to it?), and is something like this a standard in the making? Thanks, Nick Johnson
