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.
