[MOBY-dev] Binary data streaming

[Sergio Ramirez Ramirez]

So with FastInfoSet can be handled binary data using XInclude, is a good 
idea instead to use base64

in the other hand, "To use disabled XInclude to pass a reference into a 
custom parser" is useful for example if you don't want to handle the 
reference just to sent it to another service, if it is always on don't 
left you this possibility
