A binary *search* tree (and I mean *balanced* binary serch tree) has
more useful properties than just that it one of its serializations

Just a request for clarification: the code presented in

[1] 
http://dnovatchev.wordpress.com/2012/01/09/the-binary-search-tree-data-structurehaving-fun-with-xpath-3-0/

is not intended to implement a "balanced" tree?


No, although the delete node operation is implemented in a way that
must not unbalance the tree. The implementation of the delete node
operation is described in the second post on binary search trees.
