The internal structure would be something like a DOM tree, which tends to
take more bytes than the XML stream does... and object
serialization/deserialization is often not a heck of a lot faster than XML
parsing. Most of the proposals for "binary XML" representations have hit
that same set of rocks and been abandoned.
