I have been doing some work with a binary encoding of 
something akin to a serialisation of SAX events as 
generated from an XPath object model. I thought it might be 
an interesting exercise to try and quantify the performance 
penalty of applying well-formed constraints to this 
encoding. 

I have a small list of constraints that need to be added 
which are not implicitly guaranteed by this encoding. Just 
wondering if anybody can think of any others I should be 
looking at that would not typically be for free as part of 
this type of binary encoding. 

Only one top-level element
All character data in correct ranges
Names on elements, attributes and pi target are valid
Attribute names are unique over an element
Comments do not contain '--'
PI data does not contain '?>'

If I can get some usefull datapoints out of this I will post 
them to the list.

Thanks,
Kev.
