I think that there will be more comments on the utility of a Compact Notation if there is a proposal that covers the same ground as the proposed XML variant does. It will then be more obvious whether the CN scales beyond the original version. One concern is that a CN is not inherently extensible. If a new template feature is added, the Compact Notation syntax has to be amended.
It is not obvious to me how the space characteristics of an offline representation relates to the demands for space efficiency in a feed?
