+__NOTOC__
+The goal for this project is to implement a standard approach to transmit file resources in a single package for use in a web page, including (but not exclusively) JS, CSS, images. It should be a standard that all browsers makers can easily implement, and that is backwards compatible with browsers that do not support it. We also want a solution that works for all types of resources, and one that doesn’t require any new tools, file types or protocols.

+== Goals ==
-http://limi.net/articles/resource-packages
+*  Make it possible to serve all the resources (images, stylesheets, javascript) required by a page in a single HTTP request, freeing up the other parallel requests to fetch resources that are page-specific.
+* Be as simple to implement as possible, so anyone with a passing familiarity with HTML should be able to perform the optimization.
+* Be entirely transparent to browsers that do not support it.
+* Avoid retransmission of existing resources.
+* Use existing tools that are widely used on all platforms.
+* Support the “80% use case” over adding a lot of complexity to the spec.
-== Next steps ==
+== Non-Goals ==
+*  Invent new file formats
+* Invent new compression formats
-Update spec to use the offline manifest format with Vlad.
