+ <longdescription lang="en">
+ 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.
