You also might want to look at WBXML (WAP Binary XML Content Format)
which:

"...defines a compact binary representation of the Extensible Markup
Language [XML]. The binary XML content format is designed to reduce the
transmission size of XML documents, allowing more effective use of XML
data on narrowband communication channels. Refer to the [WML]
specification for one example use of the binary XML content format. ..."

It's not specific to WML, though and it's pretty simple to implement. I
don't know how the compression compares to LZW, unfortunately.

The spec is available at wap-forum
(http://www.wapforum.com/what/technical.htm)
