Indeed, the MPEG consortium is working on such binary encoding of XML documents for the future MPEG-7 standard. The binary encoding uses XML Schema definitions to generate an highly compressed encoding schemes. Structure is coded when it is needed (optional elements) and data are coded in "natural format" i.e. integers are carried as 2's complement integers, float as IEEE 754, etc... BiM parsers can provide an enhanced SAX API. Moreover the format (called BiM) allows skipping of undesired elements and dynamic updating of XML tree. In two words, MPEG-7 BiM allows compression and streaming of XML files. Do not hesitate to contact me for further information, I'm currently preparing web pages on that subject.
