W3C Announces Workshop on Binary Interchange of XML Information Item Sets - (Found July 2, 2008 )

Use of XML as a format for exchange of information has its plusses and minuses. XML is self describing and lends itself to more loosely coupled information exchange but it is quite verbose and processing it can be resource intensive. As a result, the subject of a more compactperformant binary representation of XML has become a perma-thread in discussion fora such as xml_dev. In response to this interest, the W3C has announced a Workshop on Binary Interchange of XML Information Item Sets.
