I think they (not really we, I don't do much:) are actually doing much better then that. There are three major documents: Use cases -- who would benefit from binary xml and why, and what restrictions they place on the format (e.g., must both sides know the schema?) Properties -- characteristics to consider for an encoding (e.g., can you sign it, do random-access, etc) Measurements -- how to apply the above two and get a weighted score Anyone interested in the *concept* of binary XML should really take a look at these documents. /r$ -- Rich Salz Chief Security Architect DataPower Technology http://www.datapower.com XS40 XML Security Gateway http://www.datapower.com/products/xs40.html XML Security Overview http://www.datapower.com/xmldev/xmlsecurity.html
