XML compilers essentially already exist, XML describes a tree. Parsing it turns it into a DOM tree (parse tree).
Compilers also turn source code into trees. The code generation from the tree completes the task of compilation.
Generate the binary (in some standard way) from the DOM tree - and you're got binary XML. I suppose serializing the tree (or a more compact version) would be a simple way to do it.

And how long do you think that will last for?
I'm using groups.google.de to still get the old system. Is there any other way to get it?
I sure hope they don't disable the old interface. The new one sucks a bit.
