My memory gets hazy sometimes, but I think I remember the networking people complaining just as much a decade and a half ago about the inefficiencies of IP, TCP, etc. I had to fight hard as late as 1993-94 to get a university lab to use TCP/IP because the administration had been convinced by their vendor (Novell) that TCP/IP was too slow for serious work. I think that we might be at the same place right now with XML. The self-annointed analysts are telling the networking people that they'll have to handle enormous volumes of XML network traffic in a few years, and the networking people are freaking out over hypothetical future problems like verbosity and parsing time. I don't think that we have much of a clue yet whether (a) there actually will be much XML network traffic over the next few years, or (b) what it might look like, so any optimization is waaaay premature. All the best, David
