Hi,

There are a number of TC-forks around, not all of them are compatible to
classical TC or to each other (eg VeraCrypt). In future the  TC-forks
will come up with new features in UI or on device-level. Some may
introduce new container-formats etc. being non-interoperable with other
TC-forks

I would like to suggest to start to document the classical TC-formats
(ciphers and container formats) as a starting point, so that projects
can claim being compliant/compatible to.

This spec should be driven format over time, in cooperation with other
forks, so that the forks and their file-formats keep compatible to each
other.

If there is no such document/spec around yet as starting point, I would
be willing to start such documentation effort, as I think that this is a
very important thing to do.
