Hi Elliotte Elliotte said: While XMill sounds interesting, I really have to take issue with this statement. I've seen no evidence that XML based, uncompressed file formats are larger than the corresponding binary file formats. This is a common fear about XML but I have not seen it borne out in my tests. For instance, my 700K, very verbose baseball statistics example is more than two megabytes in both FileMaker 3 and Microsoft Excel. Didier reply: What??? no evidence???? come on Elliotte, this is a joke I presume, you're not serious ;-) so there is a :-) missing at the end of the statement. In fact, their compression algorithm is something that the HTTP group should look very closely as an addition to simple zip compression (as you know HTTP 1.1 can transport content in a compressed format) for certain MIME types such as XML derived domain languages.
