-OVERVIEW
+Overview
--------
-The l3packages collection is contains implementations for aspects of the
-LaTeX3 kernel, dealing with higher-level ideas such as the Designer
-Interface. The packages here are considered broadly stable (The LaTeX3
-Project does not expect the interfaces to alter radically). These
-packages are build on LaTeX2e conventions at the interface level, and
-so may not migrate in the current form to a stand-alone LaTeX3 format.

+----------
-The l3keys2e package allows keys defined using l3keys to be used
-as package and class options with LaTeX2e. This is tied to the
-method the existing kernel uses for processing options, and so it
-is likely that a stand-alone LaTeX3 kernel will use a very different
-approach.
