I don't follow, the quoted piece says "more significant improvements
can be otatined by adopting optimized stream based XML parsers."

I strongly agree with both those points.

Interesting point I hadn't thought of before ...   Still, my bottom
line is that XML interop is not so much a function of it being
textual, but it being the common denominator.  That is problematic
enough with the various encodings, the various schema languages, the
substantial percentage of "XML" being processed by SOAP tools that
don't recognize anything defined by a DTD, etc. The last thing we need
is to double the number of permutations by adding another "common"
format.
