Srinath/ Mark Nice idea. This is a hot area as the W3C are putting some effort into binary XML right now. In addition to the links listed, I suggest you look at Dennis Sosnoski's XBIS (http://xbis.sourceforge.net/) and the cbXML proposal from IBM. (http://www.w3.org/2003/08/binary-interchange-workshop/presentations-ibm-cbxml.pdf and http://www.w3.org/2003/08/binary-interchange-workshop/19-IBM-IBMPositionPaperBinaryXMLWorkshop-updated.html
In fact you can find a lot of data here http://www.w3.org/2003/08/binary-interchange-workshop/Report.html#papers Another reason this could be very important: My belief is that binary XML infoset only shows its real benefit with a typed pull parser. The reason: suppose you have a binary encoding of an integer, and then you use a string-based parser, you will end up decoding the binary into an int, converting to a string for the parser API and then back to an int in the deserialisation code. So we won't really know how fast binary XML is until we try it on a platform like Axis2.
