Xml

A question came to my mind reading an answer to the question What are the differences between gconf and dconf?.

In an reply to the above question, Oli said:

Binary read access is far faster than parsing XML.

However, there exist a W3C recommendation for binary XML, since 2010: Efficient XML Interchange (EXI) Format 1.0. Is this what dconf uses? If Yes, where is it confirmed? If No, was there some investigations toward it at some time, and what was the conclusions?

Thanks for any tracks, I'm curious to know.
