xif file icon: xif filetype icon

File extension xif is related to a specialized XIFF (eXtended Image File Format) image format developed and used by Xerox. Most likely abandoned and replaced by some current standard.

xiff files contains streams of image information with text information that describes the document, and stores user annotations.

Although it is extensible, the specification does not include macros or code that is executed on a user's system.

It seems like this format was also adopted by some other programs like OmniPage, or TextBridge from Nuance.
