IBM developerWorks - "Who needs binary XML when we have good compression?"
"One approach to achieving XML compression is to adopt a format that is designed for binary formats from the start. The leading candidate is ISO/ITU ASN.1, a data transmission standard that predates XML. ASN.1 is being updated with several XML-related capabilities that allow XML formats to be reformulated into specialized forms such as ASN.1 Packed Encoding Rules, which define a very compact binary encoding. OASIS UBL is an example of an XML initiative that has taken the ASN.1 approach to XML data compression." <full article>
