has anybody a pointer for Safari's ".webarchive" format used in 10.4?
You know, the file which might be used to keep a webpage
including all ressources embedded in one file.
From a prevous message I sent to this list:

Safari can save a web page as a Web Archive file, including the

page being shown in my app's WebView and saving it in such an
archive.
The actual byte-level content of the format is private, but you can
certainly make use of web archives with public API. WebKit has
methods to create a WebArchive (a) from a WebDataSource; (b) from a
DOM node; (c) directly from HTML and resources; (d) from data, e.g.
from a WebArchive file. The difference between (a) and (b) is that
(a) stores the document as loaded; (b) stores the document as
currently displayed, which may differ if the DOM has been modified,
for example by scripts.
