There are no short-term plans to release more documentation on the format. The scene serialization mechanism isn't designed for disection at this point.

Are there any plans on releasing more documentation on the format ? As far as i can tell this is a good start. However there is no use of sub-storages if i saw that right, but the complete scene is a stream so that is pretty damn tough to disect. Regards, Thorsten
