While early products are building system integration products,
we have to keep the focus on the purpose of oBIX as an Enterprise interface to
building systems. If the alternate oBIX encoding is entirely subsumed behind a
wireless gateway to a wireless oBIX gizmo, this does not matter much. If we
expect enterprise programmers to now start using oBIX specific libraries, that
that is a problem.
Whatever tight serialization we use, it should be as open, as
unquirky. As widely adopted as we can manage.
