Jeez. First I'm Agent Smith as a Matrix persona, and now I tested as an INTJ (I confess that I was hoping to be an ENTJ like the cool kids). A fairly accurate description can be found here. And yes, I do feel that several of you are slacking off right now ;)

Binary XML

Omri has a great posting on standardizing binary XML. While consulting for a moderately-sized telecom company, I did a lot of work on a CSTA protocol stack that used ASN.1 to encode its data. I'd say that Omri is 100% on the money with his comments - there are multiple masters to serve when you're trying to find the "best" method. Processing cost, bandwidth cost, and ease of inspection are all issues that are more/less important to different actors, and trying to find one encoding scheme to satisfy everyone is a fool's errand. IMO a better approach is to enable a general scheme for binary representations while leaving the final mechanism up to those that are communicating.
