[ogsa-d-wg] W3C Efficient XML Interchange WG

[Mario Antonioletti]

Hi,
    This could be of interest to this WG:

 	http://www.w3.org/XML/EXI

The XML Binary Characterization Working Group has conducted work during 
one year to gather information about uses cases where the overhead of 
generating, parsing, transmitting, storing, or accessing XML-based data 
may be deemed too great for a particular application, characterizing the 
properties that XML provides as well as those that are required by the 
use cases, and establishing measurements to help judge whether XML 1.x 
and alternate encodings provide the required properties...

More info at the link above ... I think that this should be of interest 
to this WG.

 			Mario
