Binary XML... get outta here

I don't get it !!!!!

First we have binary XML ..... which seems to go against any logic ( one of the reasons XML was devised was to move away from binary formats (proprietary or otherwise) !!!!)

Now we have Sun going for its so called "Fast Web Services "

Will not  be surprised if this sparks of another format war between traditional rivals Sun and Microsoft.

In the we might  end up with competing "binary XML" formats which hark back to the dark ages of com/dcom/rmi/corba .
