One interesting thing to note here that XML to ASN.1 mapping
could be accomplished as a matter of XSLT programming based on
"ITU-T Rec. X.694 | ISO/IEC 8825-5" specification titled

"Encoding XML-Defined Data Using ASN.1"

Once XML message model is available in ASN.1, there are tools available
to generate APIs for various (BER, DER, PER) encodings. I am not
sure of availability of Java based ASN.1 toolkits.

There has been some discussions recently on SOAP performance. I would
be interested to know if ASN.1 PER (Packed Encoding Rule) is used
as on-the-wire encoding format, what would be the implications.
Another fact to mention is startup like http://www.sarvega.com/
are making XML hardware accelerators.

I already knew of more generalized approach (as I
said earlier ASN.1/XML approach):

http://asn1.elibel.tm.fr/xml/#schema-mapping

WAP is just one possible application of this approach.

I am looking for other approaches on Binary XML
encoding/decoding. I think one is XML infoset encoding.
Are there other approaches?

Wireless Binary XML for the WAP forum.  Google will turn it up.
