        Is Microsoft's BAML compatible with the binary format for XML
that they use in SQL 2000, etc.? Are these two the *only* binary
formats for XML that Microsoft is using or developing? Are there
others as well?

In the Longhorn documentation it says:

        Why are these binary formats so good for Microsoft yet not
good for the rest of us? What is so special about these formats that
some standardized format can't be accepted?
