As for xz, it doesn't seem to handle the variety of files that 7z did, which is sad..they made it conform by making it stupid. Typical.
xz is just a plain implementation of the LZMA algorithm. It's not meant to be a swiss army knife of packing utilities :)
I think you're right, Joerg was confused...xz was a replacement for lzma to add a file-type header to the front, since lzma didn't do that and if you don't have a file suffix on it, it just looks like a binary blob...
Well, you are confused. 7z is not a replacement for tar as you seem to believe and usually programs that try to do too many jobs don't do them all right.
