This will open Pandora's Box.

Some applications do need a binary, such as X3D, 
and are moving smartly to design one.  Terms such 
as 'optimized XML' scare me.  I shall be interested 
in the details of the other attempts, but on the 
appropriate list.  Thanks Robin.

It's what many call "binary XML", or variants thereon. It just so 
happens that while many attempts at optimisation walk down the road of 
using a binary format, not all do.
