XStream delivers a BinaryDriver that writes a more efficient (proprietary)
format than XML, but it's certainly not as compact as EXI.

Not yet, but it sounds very interesting.

I did not have a closer look to EXI or the available 3rd party
implementations yet, but in principle, it should be possible to write
comparable code to com.xstream.thoughtworks.io.binary to read and write EXI
natively.
Contributions welcome ... :)
