We have nothing planned in the immediate time-frame. FI tends to be
"under the covers" and utilized by our JAXB and JAX-RPC 1.x and JAX-WS
2.0 versions, and these are, or are becoming, stable so we do not want
to destabalise things in this respect.
With respect to what we have planned, the next changes would be in
relation to better performant integration into JAXB 2.x and JAX-WS 2.x
e.g. currently we do not take advantage of all the encoding algorithms
for use with JAXB (only the base64 encoding algorithm). To do this
properly will require some augmentations to the StAX API and therefore
the FI StAX implementation. Things are just getting started... if all
things go well then something stable and public is likely to be ready in
about 6 months.
You can also help/decide here with respect to what you would like in the
next release and when, and i would be happy to co-ordinate another
stable/public release based on that.

That would be great.

Great, me to, with your help :-)

Probably not. I guess it depends on the size of chunks that are being
compressed. If we had this fragment:
<a id="_option_1"/>
<a id="_option_2"/>
<a id="_option_3"/>
<a id="_option_4"/>
<a id="_option_5"/>
and wanted to compression all 'id' attributes using a stream-zip
encoding algorithm, then what would be the size of the compressed chunk
compared to the size of encoding the literal information?
