feisty current alternate image

I just had a concerned user join the irc channel and exclaim that he
couldn't believe that Xubuntu installation image had become larger than
700mb. I quickly corrected him by sending him this link:

http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily-live/current/

and assuring him that we were still below 550mb, but he (who was more
informed than I) posted back a link to:

http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/daily/current/

and informed me that he was trying to test the alternate image but was not
able to because he lacks a dvd burner and cd-r's have a maximum capacity of
700mb (or atleast all the one's he and I own, some manufacturer might have
gotten a little more on there). I am just curious if that image size is what
it is supposed to be, and also why its so large while the live cd is notably
smaller.

Thanks,
-Adam
