I do not think that this approach is practicable. In our examples we write gigabyte-sized files regularly. We do not want to store them as even bigger files following a "standard" serialization XML schema, in order to then try apply an XSLT engine that can handle such huge files just to reduce it to the format we want. Any XML serialization library (which this library does not necessarily have to be) should allow for abitrary user-defined schemas. Just supporting SOME useful form is not sufficient for performance reasons.XSLT will allow this. As long as the serialization library can output to* Some approaches, including XML, allow a practically unlimited number of
different ways to represent the same data. The user rather than the
serialization library should choose the particular design.
SOME form of useful XML (such as the hierarchical format I propose), the
mapping between any particular schema and this format can be done as a
relatively straight-forward stylesheet.
