+The keys3 package --- Key management for LaTeX3
+Maintained by Joseph Wright

+
+The keys3 package is an experimental implementation of key
+management for LaTeX3. The entire package is written in
+expl3 code rather than in traditional TeX/LaTeX. The key
+module used by keys3 is based on that introduced by the
+pgfkeys package from the pgf/TiKZ bundle. Keys are thus
+addressed in a path-like manner, and are controlled by key
+properties:
+
+/module/key/.code:n = <code>,
+/module/key/.value_required:,
+/module/key = <value>
+
+The keys3 package is intended as a method for testing how key
+management might be implemented in LaTeX3. Both the methods
+used inside the package and the interface provided are intended
+to be discussed. Feedback is welcomed either by e-mail
+(joseph.wright@morningstar2.co.uk) or at the package website
+(http://keys3.berlios.de).
+
+The experimental nature of keys3 and the underlying expl3
+system means that it should not be used in production
+documents. However, programmers testing expl3, or keen to work
+on improved key management systems, are encouraged to try the
+package and provide feedback.
+
+keys3 is *not* an official LaTeX3 team package. Whether any of
+the ideas explored here will be taken up by the team is
+therefore unknown. However, the keys3 package should provide
+ideas on what needs to be available for key management and how
+it can be implemented.
