+  <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.
