-
-It is **strongly recommended** that all templates in parsers other than
-  those described above be namespaced (by `@name` or `@mode`), to avoid
-  conflicts between templates in multiple parsers.
+Alternatively, you can set the `@书社:supported-media-types` attribute
+  on the root element of the parser to override media type support
+  detection.
+
+Even when `@书社:supported-media-types` is set, it is a requirement
+  that each parser transform any `<html:script>` elements with a
+  `@type` which matches their registered types into something else.
+Otherwise the parser will be stuck in an endless loop.
+The result tree of applying the transform to the `<html:script>`
+  element will be reparsed (in case any new `<html:script>` elements
+  were added in its subtree), and a `@书社:parsed-by` attribute will be
+  added to each toplevel element in the result.
+The value of this attribute will be the value of the `<书社:id>`
+  toplevel element in the parser.
+
+It is possible for parsers to support zero plaintext types.
+This is useful when targeting specific dialects of X·M·L; parsers in
+  this sense operate on the same basic principles as transforms
+  (described below).
+The major distinction between X·M·L parsers and transforms is where in
+  the process the transformation happens:
+Parsers are applied *prior* to embedding (and can be used to generate
+  embeds); transforms are applied *after*.
+
+It is **strongly recommended** that auxillary templates in parsers be

+### Attributes added during parsing

+
+- A `@书社:cksum` attribute on toplevel result elements, giving the
+    `cksum` checksum of the corresponding source file.
+
+- For the elements which result from parsing plaintext `<html:script>`
+    elements :⁠—
+
+  - A `@书社:parsed-by` attribute, giving a space‐separated list of
+      parsers which parsed the node.
+    (Generally, this will be a list of one, but it is possible for the
+      result of a parse to be another plaintext node, which may be
+      parsed by a different parser.)
+
+  - A `@书社:media-type` attribute, giving the identified media type of
