References to 'optimized XML' without a clear
set of definitions for this. The slippery slope
is evident. Again, this discussion will likely
come up on the public binary list.
It's not just another tool. It is another format
or encoding. Very big difference.

And not surprisingly Web3D is part of the WG.

Sometimes you need to reach into XML and use XPath. Sometimes you need
to transform it and use XSLT. Or an API to it: DOM, SAX, etc. Sometimes
you need validation: RelaxNG, XML Schema... Sometimes you need optimised
interchange: you use an optimised format for XML, likely binary but not
necessarily.
It's just another tool.
