According to this thread
(https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/osmand/obf$20protobuf/osmand/0fmM_VtbH_A/GxlxfnpRCQAJ
) it is a container format and not plain protobuf. Probably it contains
protobuf files.

But still, even if it contains protobuf, that does not say anything
because protobuf is a generic format such us XML. Knowing that something
is XML does not explain the elements within the file ;)
