Thanks for replying!

I don't (as I said) remember which ones did/do and didn't/don't handle
mixed content, only that there were some. Possibly earlier versions of
Fast Web Services?? But I'm right that Fast Infoset was/is a binary
encoding of XML :-)

Maybe we need a wikipedia page listing all the binary XML encodings out
