I was also looking in to this BinarySerialization as a proposal for this google projects. Since somebody has come up with it now I'm thinking of doing HTTP chunking for Axis2, which will improve the efficiency of message delivary. What do u all think about it.
Thanks & Regards,

Nice idea. This is a hot area as the W3C are putting some effort into
binary XML right now. In addition to the links listed, I suggest you
look at Dennis Sosnoski's XBIS ( http://xbis.sourceforge.net/) and the
cbXML proposal from IBM.
(http://www.w3.org/2003/08/binary-interchange-workshop/presentations-ibm-cbxml.pdf
and http://www.w3.org/2003/08/binary-interchange-workshop/19-IBM-IBMPositionPaperBinaryXMLWorkshop-updated.html
In fact you can find a lot of data here
http://www.w3.org/2003/08/binary-interchange-workshop/Report.html#papers
Another reason this could be very important:
My belief is that binary XML infoset only shows its real benefit with
a typed pull parser. The reason: suppose you have a binary encoding of
an integer, and then you use a string-based parser, you will end up
decoding the binary into an int, converting to a string for the parser
API and then back to an int in the deserialisation code.
So we won't really know how fast binary XML is until we try it on a
platform like Axis2.
