Hopefully i can contribute a little thing of interest here. As her 4th year
university
project, a friend of mine did some work on XML compression. Her report can
be found here:

(I don't know if her email address is on the page, if anyone would like to
get in touch for
more info, let me know, and I'll put you in contact).

Robin.
