What I was actually trying suggesting was looking at the research on XML compression. There are specific compressors, generally based on LZ that perform better then an ignorant compressor. Search citeseer for "xml compression" to look at the body of work. An example on one paper shows the compression of a 15.9MB file to 1.6MB with gzip, but a specalized compressor yeilds a .82MB. It does us zlib, but preprocessing of the XML allows zlib to do a much better job. -- Brooks -- Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
