If 2 requirements could be fullfilled: - ziplike: encoding to and from binary form is lossless and reproduces exactly the text document - API / conceptual no change in processing (you proces a binary document, but can think of it as the textual XML document) - So for machine processing you get speed and low memory usage. - For human readability/ debugging you use the 'unzip' utility
