One commercial software file format stores some raster images (icons) in the format described below:
Offset Length Value
2. . . . . 2. . . . . Width (always 0x20?)
4. . . . . 2. . . . . Height (always 0x20?)
8. . . . . 4. . . . . Size of file
0xE . . . . . . . . . start of transparency 'list'
[right after end of transperency] start of points colors
The start is in the left bottom corner.
Transparency: 1 bit per point
Points: 4 bits for color encoding
It utilizes some kind of RLE algorithm, so if
most significant bit of L=1 -- repeat next byte L&127
times
most significant bit of L=0 -- read L&127 bytes
'literally'.

May be you can recognize it as some well-known format?
Example:
00 00
20 00 (Width)
20 00 (Height)
16 00 00 00 (Size)
00 00 ???
02 c0 03 (2 most signif bits in the 1st byte and 2 least
signif bits in the 2nd bytes are transparent)
FE 00 (next 7e*8 bits are opaque)
/because transparency was described for all points next
bytes are colors/
08 FF 99 FF 99 99 FF 99 FF (2 white /in real transparent/, 2
red /color 9/, 2 white, 2 red points; 2 red, 2 white, 2 red,
2white /transparent again/ points)
FF AA (7f*2 green /color A/ points)
FF AA (7f*2 green /color A/ points)
FF AA (7f*2 green /color A/ points)
FB AA (7b*2 green /color A/ points)

FOAF updates: Trust rankings are now exported, making the data available to other users and websites. An external FOAF URI has been added, allowing users to link to an additional FOAF file.
