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