Dude. The way it's stored currently is horrible - it's not congruent to the structure of the file! The s-expr file is supposed to be a tree structure, why is the binary data stored broken into multiple objects like that? It's yet another facet of the parsing nightmare we have.
If you're going to you a "standard" format like s-expr, you should actually understand it and use it the way it's meant to be used.
