I agree...since you need a proxy of some kind on a PCish host,
I would put parsing and encoding software there instead of pushing
it all the way out to the sensors. Appropriate Technology and all...

As I said, the largest packet would be about 256 bytes, but the standard T2 application data length is 28 bytes, which seems far too small for tagged data of any more than the simplest kind. This would mean you'd likely have to split your data across multiple packets, which also adds more complexity. Keep in mind that micaz motes only have 4 KB of RAM, so you could run out of RAM quickly if you increase the data length or store a large number of packets. Also, the XML parser could cause a huge increase in code size.

Most likely, you should be able to do without XML. With more details on your specific application, perhaps someone could suggest an alternative.

Ofcourse, what ever your saying regarding the XML on a sensor node is right. As you said, it is the application that forced us to think in this way. What do you think are the possible obstacles in using XML format for messages and then parsing them at the sensor nodes. Regards

Interesting, so there apparently is an XML library... However, I still
    can't see a real need for that on a mote.  I've found that XML can be
    useful way to store data on a computer that is connect to a sensor
    network, but on the motes themselves I can't see why you'd want to go
    that route.  Is there a particular reason or application that led
    you to
    consider XML?

I was always alone in this world,
wanted to be loved,by someone.
I always had teary eyes,
wanted it to be wiped by someone.
