Comment(by rransom):

 Replying to [comment:2 nickm]:
 > xz has its specifications here, allegedly:
 http://tukaani.org/xz/format.html

 The ‘specification’ linked to on that page contains no information about
 the LZMA compression format.  It does provide quite a few ways to make an
 .xz stream incompatible with some .xz readers, though.
