-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.
