8 Yeah, the only thing that I wasn't sure about is the subslots part. With
9 the proposed patch we don't document a subslot for a specific slot, but
10 for the whole package. Everything else looked too complicated/ugly in
11 xml and I'm not sure we even need it. If someone has a better idea,
12 please speak up.
13 I think it should be kept simple, because we want devs to fill in this
14 kind of information, not confuse them.
