Jed just added some VTK output that has appended binary data. I plan to add
the strategy we use in
PyLith which is to write an HDF5 file, and then an xdmf file to describe
that layout to VTK.

When I do this, we should get your requirements and make sure it works for
you. I hope to get
on this soon.

  Thanks,
