I'd just used a basic comma delimited format.  Depending on the size and 
type of data you are transmitting, I assume this would be smallest.  If 
you are using j2me, perhaps there is a java specific data type that you 
could use instead of basic text.  I'm not familiar with the inner workings 
of j2me, but I've seen other languages that use XML to encoded and 
transmit objects (i.e. XML-RPC).  If you could have j2me receive such 
transmissions, that'd be the way I'd go.
