+ Experimental LaTeX3 High-Level Concepts
+ =======================================
+
+ 2011/05/11
+
+
+WHERE TO GET IT
+---------------
+
+The files in this distribution represent a snapshot of selected files
+from the Subversion (SVN) repository of the LaTeX3 Project.
+
+To obtain current versions of the files, visit
+<http://www.latex-project.org/code.html> which contains further
+instructions.
+
+OVERVIEW
+--------
+
+The l3experimental packages are a collection of experimental implementations
+for aspects of the LaTeX3 kernel, dealing with higher-level ideas such as the
+Designer Interface. Some of them work as stand alone packages, providing new
+functionality, and can be used on top of LaTeX2e with no changes to the
+existing kernel. Others go further, and redefine LaTeX2e internals to provide
+better methods for managing certain constructs. The packages in the collection
+are under active development and the interfaces may change.
+
+Currently included in the CTAN release of l3experimental are the following
+bundles:
+ * xcoffins
+
+xcoffins
+--------
+
+A _coffin_ is a 'box with handles': a data structure which comprises
+both a TeX box and associated information to allow controlled typesetting.
+The xcoffins package provides a high-level interface for manipulating
+coffins. This is supported by the lower-level l3coffins package, which
+provides the data structure.
+
+xgalley
+-------
+
+In LaTeX3 terminology a galley is a rectangular area which receives
+text and other material filling it from top. The vertically extend of
+a galley is normally not restricted: instead certain chunks are taken
+off the top of an already partially filled galley to form columns or
+similar areas on a page. This process is typically asynchronous but
+there are ways to control or change its behaviour. The xgalley module
+provides a mechanism for filling galleys and controlling the spacing,
+hyphenation and justification within them.
+
+DISCUSSION
