I've stumbled across the following blog entry that comments on an entry in my own blog[1] on the subject of XML/ASN.1 mixed-use: http://sati.weblogs.us/archives/004543.html Manoj Sati says: "I once worked on a system software that processed a ton of XML ( all P2P exchanges were XML based ). The intention was the ability to look at the wire format cleanly. Needless to say, the performance left much to be desired. Changing XML to a proprietary binary format worked wonders." This is only one of many "testimonials" that could be collected that indicate that in at least "high-volume" XML applications, the conversion of XML to a compressed, fast binary format is a useful thing to do. Given that the volume of information available on and exchanged on the Internet is growing rapidly, it seems to me that there will be more and more applications that find that they can benefit from mixed XML/ASN.1 architectures in the future. It makes little sense for each of these projects to work in isolation and in isolation of the forums of the XML community. Interop would be best served by coordination and cooperation between these communities. bob wyman [1] http://bobwyman.pubsub.com/
