Can anyone recommend a good binary XML format? It's for a JavaME application, so it needs to be a) Easy to implement on the server, and b) Easy to write a low-footprint parser for on a low-end JavaME client device.

I honestly have only started recently researching this so my knowledge is limited. I was approached about adapting some Pocket PC software to operate on the Windows 6 platform.
