First Draft of Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Profile Published

The Efficient XML Interchange Working Group has published the First Public Working Draft of Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Profile. Many device classes and use-cases desire to use EXI as its exchange format. Due to various restrictions some of those application areas are not capable or allowed to require arbitrary memory growth at runtime. Certain evaluations of EXI in the context of such areas exposed some challenges to the attempt to restrict memory usage predictably within their limited respective threshold. This document describes a profile of the EXI 1.0 specification that allows bounding the memory consumption of EXI internal structures such as grammars and string partitions.
