RE: [ubl-dev] Top 10 uses of XML in 2007

["David RR Webber \(XML\)" <david@drrw.info>]

Steve, 

I'm sure this is the W3C use case for this - something like the Library
of Congress - their books - or the patent office - or Googles scanning
of classic literature - reams of content in XML - such as ODF or OOXML
- that runs to megabytes of stuff - and compressing that - because the
ODF and OOXML viewers will handle that compress/decompress
automagically (MS Word 2007 already stores its docs as a ZIP right
now). 

But for general XML use - transactions - forms - using REST - et al -
this just something that gets in the way of getting hold of the raw XML
itself...
