Yup. That's why I (and Robin Berjon, I suppose) are spending the energy to try to persuade Tim that the idea is not as stupid and evil as it may appear at first glance :-). The "binary infoset" genie is out of the bottle. The question now is whether he serves the industry as a whole in a reasonably sane and IP-free way, or whether he serves several proprietary masters in a fragmented and patent-encumbered manner :-) Y'all want to stuff him back in the bottle, fine ... but it's not me that you have to convince. My strong preference would be for the "one standard human-readable syntax" position if I had my druthers. I totally agree (e.g. with an article by Sean McGrath) that in the vast majority of XML *applications* the parsing overhead / bloat issue is a red herring. I wish that were also true of the rapidly growing XML messaging *infrastructure*, but that's simply not the reality I'm being made more and more aware of, in both my day job world and my W3C Web services world.
