About the XCF format

So, I was thinking about an interesting matter: why the image viewer softwares doesn´t have support to XCF? Some linux file managers, like Thunar, have the thumbnails support. So what if I want to develop, or help developing, an image viewer, can I implement the XCF format? And if yes, where may I find more info about the format? Is it all in the gimp sources? Or, better, is XCF a gimp format or was it borrowed from some other place?

In that very case you will reinvent the wheel :)
