I don't think BML will be standard (just feeling - no experience with it)
I heard somewhere, that future Java version will include XML-based serialization ...

Look at new SUN's Java-XML Data Binding Proposal:

http://java.sun.com/aboutJava/communityprocess/jsr/jsr_031_xmld.html

it's might be very useful for XML and OODBMS integration.

Anyway, the thing we talking about - DOM view of Java objects,
is quite non-standard by itself :)
