+%description
+This module provides ways to parse XML documents. It is built on top
+of XML::Parser::Expat, which is a lower level interface to James Clark's
+expat library. Each call to one of the parsing methods creates a new
+instance of XML::Parser::Expat which is then used to parse the document.
+Expat options may be provided when the XML::Parser object is created.
+These options are then passed on to the Expat object on each parse call.
+They can also be given as extra arguments to the parse methods, in which
+case they override options given at XML::Parser creation time.
