Thanks, Allan. 

I like BSON, and it might be a good fit. However, I had something in mind less Mongo-centric and more aimed at storing features (geometries coupled with attributes).

I'm building systems that store features and move them around, often as GeoJSON. A binary equivalent seemed worth considering, as I'm rolling my own compact serialization formats (save the OGC standards).
