 ## Nomenclature
 
@@ -39,6 +48,98 @@ The name <i lang="cmn-Hans">书社</i> was chosen to play on this pun, as
 In Ascii environments, ⛩️📰 书社 should be written `Shushe`, following
   the pinyin transliteration.
 
+## Prerequisites
+
+In most cases, ⛩️📰 书社 aims to require only functionality which is
+  present in all Posix‐compliant (`POSIX.1-2001`) operating systems.
+There are a few exceptions.
+Details on particular programs are given below; if a program is not
+  listed, it is assumed that any Posix‐compliant implementation will
+  work.
+
+### `diff`
+
+This is a Posix utility, but ⛩️📰 书社 depends on functionality
+  introduced after `POSIX.1-2001` (the `-u` option, introduced in
+  `POSIX.1-2008`).
+Macintosh systems somewhat interestingly implement this option
+  correctly in legacy mode (`COMMAND_MODE=legacy`) but incorrectly by
+  default (despite claiming `POSIX.1-2008` conformance for this
+  utility).
+[Note this erroneous comment claiming nanosecond & timezone are
+  extensions rather than standardized.][rdar-92753335]
+Despite this, the default Macintosh implementation will still work with
+  ⛩️📰 书社, with the caveat that the timestamp will only include a
+  fractional component when a Posix⹀compliant (e·g, Macintosh legacy or
+  G·N·U) implementation is used.
+
+### `file`
+
+This is a Posix utility, but it was considered optional in
+  `POSIX.1-2001` (altho it was made mandatory in `POSIX.1-2008`) and
+  ⛩️📰 书社 currently depends on unspecified behaviour.
+It requires support for the following additional options :⁠—
+
+- **`-C`**, when supplied with `-m`, must be useable to compile a
+    `.mgc` magicfile for use with future invocations of `file`.
+
+- **`--files-from`** must be useable to provide a file that `file`
+    should read file·names from, and `-` must be useable in this
+    context to specify the standard input.
+
+- **`--mime-type`** must cause `file` to print the internet media type
+    of the file with no charset parameter.
+
+- **`--separator`** must be useable to set the separator that `file`
+    uses to separate file names from types.
+
+These options are implemented by the
+  [Fine Free File Command](https://darwinsys.com/file/), which is used
+  by most operating systems.
+
+### `git`
+
+This is not a Posix utility.
+Usage of `git` is optional, but recommended (and activated by default).
+To disable it, set `GIT=`.
+
+### `make`

+This is a Posix utility, but it is considered an optional Software
+  Development utility and ⛩️📰 书社 currently depends on unspecified
+  behaviour.

+  depends on functionality present in version 3.81 or later.
+It is not expected to work in previous versions, or with other
+  implementations of Make.
+
+### `pax`
+
+This is a Posix utility, but it is not included in the Linux Standard
+  Base or installed by default in many distributions.
+⛩️📰 书社 only requires support for the `ustar` format.

+### `uudecode` and `uuencode`

+The G·N·U [Sharutils](https://www.gnu.org/software/sharutils/) package
+  provides one implementation.

+### `xmlcatalog` and `xmllint`
+
+These are not a Posix utilities.
+They are a part of `libxml2`, but may need to be installed separately
+  on some platforms (e·g by the name `libxml2-utils`).

 Output wrapping can be entirely disabled by adding a
   `@书社:disable-output-wrapping` attribute to the top‐level element in

+It will not be performed on outputs whose root elements are
+  `<书社:archive>`, `<书社:base64-binary>`, or `<书社:raw-text>`
+  (described below).
+
+## Applying Attributes
+
+The `<书社:apply-attributes>` element will apply any attributes on the
+  element to the element(s) it wraps.
+It is especially useful in combination with embeds.
+
+The `<书社:apply-attributes-to-root>` element will apply any attributes
+  on the element to the root node of the final transformation result.
+It is especially useful in combination with output wrapping.
+
+In both cases, attributes from various sources are combined with
+  white·space between them.
+Attribute application takes place after all ordinary transforms have
+  completed.
+
+Both elements ignore attributes in the `xml:` name·space, except for
+  `@xml:lang`, which ignores all but the first definition (including
+  any already present on the root element).
+On H·T·M·L and S·V·G elements, `@lang` has the same behaviour as
+  `@xml:lang`.
+
+## Other Kinds of Output
+
+There are a few special elements in the `书社:` name·space which, if
+  they appear as the toplevel element in a transformation result, cause
+  ⛩️📰 书社 to produce something other than an X·M·L file.
+They are :⁠—
+
+- **`<书社:archive>`:**
+  Each child element with a `@书社:archived-as` attribute will be
+    archived as a separate file in a resulting tarball (this attribute
+    gives the file name).
+  These elements will be processed the same as the root elements of any
+    other file (e·g, they will be wrapped; they can themselves specify
+    non X·M·L output types, ⁊·c).
+  Other child elements will be ignored.
+
+  If the `<书社:archive>` element is given an `@书社:expanded`
+    attribute, rather than producing a tarball ⛩️📰 书社 will output
+    the directory which expanding the tarball would produce.
+  This mechanism can be used to generate multiple files from a single
+    source, provided all of the files are contained with·in the same
+    directory.
+
+- **`<书社:base64-binary>`:**
+  The text nodes in the transformation result will, after removing all
+    Ascii whitespace, be treated as a Base·64 string, which is then
+    decoded.
+
+- **`<书社:raw-text>`:**
+  A plaintext (U·T·F‐8) file will be produced from the text nodes in
+    the transformation result.
