AFAICT the design criteria are that the format needs to be seekable and

I thought of google protocol buffers but I don't think they're
seekable, are they?
They might be a bit more generic than what we need. They have support
for adding fields that old readers ignore for example. We will probably
require a matching compiler for some time.
Patrick, it is probably OK to go with the format you are most
comfortable with. We are free to use any format for the bits that don't
need to be visible by the system linker.
