<deflist>
<term>document</term>
<desc>
A container for the actual data (and headers) of a mime/http document.
</desc>
<term>parser</term>
<desc>
An object that can be fed data and will parse it into a document.
This object also provides various utility methods and an API
that permits overriding in order to extend the functionality to
cope with new document types.
</desc>
<term>unparser</term>
<desc>
An object to take a mime/http document and produce a data object
suitable for transmission.
