Adam, If binary standards have dried up then why is W3C producing the Efficient XML Interchange http://www.w3.org/XML/EXI/? There is also ISO standard based on ASN.1 (http://asn1.elibel.tm.fr/xml/finf.htm) that also produces a binary encoding of XML. Perhaps there is a need to reduce XML

AOM MOF mapping
