+cat << EOF
+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.
