my two cents:
In general, where the space requirements of a text based solution make it
difficult to store or transmit, the storage or transmission medium should be
responsible for compressing the xml using a generic compression mechanism,
and this should be considered an implementation detail not visible to the
application programmer. only in extreme cases is there a need for a specific
binary format.
