Did we convince ourselves that this kind of XML usage is a serious 
(performance) problem? So far, we mostly speculated on the overhead 
and possible performance impact without having hard facts. Does anyone 
have concrete numbers or measurments to share?

If we're not convinced that this is a big, serious problem, we might 
want to move on and focus our time and effort on getting OCP done 
(rather than defining a transport protocol).
