That was going to be thus, WBXML is a very simplistic approach to the 
problem. I had a chance to talk with a number of mobile players at 3GPP 
two weeks ago, and the reason it did interest them (and why bInfosets 
still does) is because gzip is apparently costly on the battery life (it 
requires the CPU to run at full speed whereas they often try to slow it 
down).
