If low latency and low overheads on transmitted messages are major 
considerations, but you want to use a standard format, then direct human 
readability (i.e. by inspection rather than by automated decoding into a 
human-readable format) may become somewhat lower priority.

In this situation its well worth considering ASN.1, which is widely used 
within telcos for inter-process communication. The Apache Foundation has 
a Java package that handles ASN.1 encoding and decoding.
