Fully architecture-independent format, regarding both endianness and the ability to mix single/double precision trajectories and I/O libraries. Self-sufficient, it should not require any other files for reading, and all the data should be contained in a single file for easy transport. Temporal compression of data, improving the compression rate of the previous XTC format. Possibility to store meta-data with information about the simulation. Direct access to a particular frame. Efficient parallel I/O.
