[Ecrit] Re: [Geopriv] Geoshapes on OGC website

[Andrew Newton <andy at hxr.us>]

Completely OT, but they also have a Binary XML spec (BXML).   I just  
scanned it, and it looks very interesting.  My brief $0.02:  1) I  
would probably do a lot more than just skim this spec if I knew  
exactly which parts were patent encumbered and by whom.  2) One of my  
first questions was "Why not WBXML?", and there was a section that  
actually talked to that point and that I found very agreeable.  3)  
The compromise on the endianness thing gives the worst of both  
cases.  There is a lot, I mean a lot, of code out there that knows  
and does the right thing with network byte order.  Plus, there are  
far, far more cell phones than desktop computers, and they don't run  
x86.
