"Each section is cleartext for dev CIAs, for retail CIAs the APP data is encrypted."

Dev/Production CIA use the same specification. So I'm not sure what you mean by this.
The "ctrtool" on the CXI page already parses the CIA format, why re-invent the wheel?

"CIA files can be created with the Nintendo 3DS SDK and installed on the 3DS test units by the Dev Menu."

Please keep the focus on documentation of the spec., we don't want to explain things from the perspective of SDK users- but for someone that knows (potentially) nothing about the 3DS. The SDK does not tell the whole story of most file formats, and most people don't need to know what the SDK can do for them but what they can do without the SDK. - Jl12
