+ "The conventional models for parsing XML are either @dfn{DOM}
+(a data structure representing the entire document tree is created) or
+@dfn{SAX} (callbacks are issued for each element in the XML).
+
+XML grammar is recursive - so it's nice to be able to write recursive
+parsers for it. @code{XML::Descent} allows such parsers to be created.")
