It could be used in conjunction with it, as the overview points out, with the Abc files being used as the leaf nodes for the actual geometry representation. But the SceneGraph representation (USD) will need to be the starting point, as Alembic doesn't (yet) provide a nice way of doing overrides or referencing other external files which is what this spec provides.

I meant "addition" in the sense of a complimentary tool set to Alembic. :) But you are right that it can be misinterpreted.
