Fast infoset has only two advantages, IIUC. It must have better
performance it terms of reading and writing and also it should be
smaller in size to the XML the that it represents.

Even though gzip compresses data, what it gives to the application is an
XML. There won't be an advantage over gzip in-terms of compression when
we use binary xml, but binary xml should perform better when it is
serializing and de-serializing. Being them in binary format has no
advantage except some one being not able to see them in a text editor.

If what Dennis claims is true (binary xml is slow in Axis2) in his
earlier mail, then we have a serious problem of using fast infoset.
Either our implementation is not correct (I don't think so) or fast
infoset readers and writers are slow.
