+== New design ==
+
+I am currently working on a new constraint‐based design, where the format
+specification consists of statements that must be true about the raw and
+interpreted data, and the program figures out how to solve these constraints.
+This design should make a number of things possible, particularly editing and
+bidirectional encoding/decoding. As of December 2012, I have a proof‐of‐concept
+that generates Python code to encode or decode a trivial structure, and I’m
+working on improving it.
