+Measurement Set v4
+------------------
+
+NRAO_/SKAO_ are developing a new xarray-based `Measurement Set v4 specification <msv4-spec_>`_.
+While there are many changes some of the major highlights are:
+
+* xarray_ is used to define the specification.
+* MSv4 data consists of Datasets of ndarrays on a regular time-channel grid.
+  MSv2 data is tabular and, while in many instances the time-channel grid is regular,
+  this is not guaranteed, especially after MSv2 datasets have been transformed by various tasks.
+
+
+xarray_ Datasets are self-describing and they are therefore easier to reason about and work with.
+Additionally, the regularity of data will make writing MSv4-based software less complex.
+
+xradio
+------
+
+`casangi/xradio <xradio_>`_ provides a reference implementation that converts
+CASA v2 Measurement Sets to Zarr v4 Measurement Sets using the python-casacore_
+package.
+
+Why xarray-ms?
+--------------
+
+* By developing against an MSv4 xarray view over MSv2 data,
+  developers can develop applications on well-understood data,
+  and then seamlessly transition to newer formats.
+  Data can also be exported to newer formats (principally zarr_) via xarray's
+  native I/O routines.
+  However, the xarray view of either format looks the same to the software developer.
+
+* xarray-ms builds on xarray's
+  `backend API <https://docs.xarray.dev/en/stable/internals/how-to-add-new-backend.html>`_:
+  Implementing a formal CASA MSv2 backend has a number of benefits:
+
+  * xarray's internal I/O routines such as ``open_dataset`` and ``open_datatree``
+    can dispatch to the backend to load data.
+  * Similarly xarray's `lazy loading mechanism <xarray_lazy_>`_ dispatches
+    through the backend.
+  * Automatic access to any `chunked array types <xarray_chunked_arrays_>`_
+    supported by xarray including, but not limited to dask_.
+  * Arbitrary chunking along any xarray dimension.
+
+* xarray-ms uses arcae_, a high-performance backend to CASA Tables implementing
+  a subset of python-casacore_'s interface.
+* Some limited support for irregular MSv2 data via padding.
+
+Work in Progress
+----------------
+
+The Measurement Set v4 specification is currently under active development.
+xarray-ms is also currently under active development and does not yet
+have feature parity with MSv4 or xradio_.
+Most measures information and many secondary sub-tables are currently missing.
+
+However, the most important parts of the MSv2 ``MAIN`` tables,
+as well as the ``ANTENNA``, ``POLARIZATON`` and ``SPECTRAL_WINDOW``
+sub-tables are implemented and should be sufficient
+for basic algorithm development.
