+      '' The XAR project aims to provide an easily extensible archive format.
+         Important design decisions include an easily extensible XML table of
+         contents for random access to archived files, storing the toc at the
+         beginning of the archive to allow for efficient handling of streamed
+         archives, the ability to handle files of arbitrarily large sizes, the
+         ability to choose independent encodings for individual files in the
+         archive, the ability to store checksums for individual files in both
+         compressed and uncompressed form, and the ability to query the table
+         of content's rich meta-data.
