@@ -9,11 +9,22 @@ already present in the build tools [Morph] and [YBD]. We want this new library
to be usable without depending on [linux-user-chroot], so that it can be used
on Mac OS X, and hopefully other platforms too.
+I have been using the [App Container spec] as a reference during development.
+The scope of 'sandboxlib' is different to that of the App Container spec:
+'sandboxlib' only deals with a single, isolated sandbox (which may or may
+not be a 'container'), where the App Container spec is focused on multiple
+containers. However, 'sandboxlib' would be a useful building block for
+implementing a complete App Container runtime, and simple App Container images
+(.acis) should be runnable with the `run-sandbox` tool directly.
