The Problem of Plenty

After a long time, bak to blogosphere. Not much of an update i have to share.
Anyways, decided to give a techie colour to my blog here upon simply coz i dont have anything else to write about.
Here is what i am trying to implement now..
XML we all know is The mode of data Transfer across different systems. But how much of an xml can you transfer. If u look at it, the size of a XML file is usually much higher than the text file that couuld be created with the contents removing the tags.
Hence is there a suitable algorithm to compress Xml. Google revealed that, the usual Huffman, LZW, work well with text files but not with xml.

Let me know if there is a better way of compressing XML.
