   Actually, the whole idea of using complex encodings full of encoding  
   alternatives (the fact that any of these are text-based is secondary  
   to that) and then compressing them with a data compression algorithm  
   is something that may be appropriate out of backwards compatibility,  
   but not for a new design that emphasizes minimal code complexity.

I agree with you.

Would you say that this description includes using XML with
EXI for compression?  EXI in schema-informed mode is not
exactly a data compression algorithm, but it isn't entirely
unlike one either.
