I am afraid the only way to make it work is to have it always switched 
off...

By the way, what is your opinion about FastInfoset???
Could it be used with XInclude?

I mean that it compresses data very well (it transforms XML schema into 
ASN.1 and use BER encoding
If I have some ontology class with binary data (base64binary) and send 
this "Moby Object" as an XML, but using FastInfoset... for the traffic 
if would be virtually the same as it was "plain" binary stream.

I mean that we can have say "BinaryImage" ontology object that is using 
"binary" primitive type.
Then instead of making an url into "http://mysite.com/image.jpg"
we make a reference into "http://mysite.com/image.xml"

The latter could be included and processed automatically by XInclude, 
but if we enable FastInfoset for it - it will be sent as a binary data 
over a network...

Just a few thoughts...

Best wishes,

Dmitry
