		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.
