XAOSL

[Klaim - Joël Lamotte]

As explained there: https://github.com/artofsequence/aosl/issues/12

There is a need (that some people in edition companies I am in contact with emitted) for a more packaged-like file format which embedd both AOSL and the resource files it uses.

I decided to name it XAOSL (pronounced xao-ess-el), for eXtended AOSL.. I guess it's not really important how I name it but I needed a name to make reference to it. It will do for now.

It will be basically a zip file with AOSL data (maybe more than one sequence), other meta data (like author infos) and the media files referenced by the AOSL data. This way you can have one file which truly embedd a full story, and pass it to different players that would know how to read it.

However it would be restricted in the kind of media you can put in, like, only media that can be read by standard HTML5 browsers, to simplify.

I will not have time to write specifications immediately, but if you have some requests or questions on this, please post them here or in the ticket comments.

I'm notifying here because I will update the website today and the AOSL page will refer to XAOSL page too.

Note: I'll change the meaning of the XAOSL name: it means "cross"-AOSL, not extended. 

It makes more sense like this.
