[edit] Needs rewrite

The opening of this article is completely hopeless in explaining anything at all about what this is, why it's important, and so forth. It just uses a bunches of terms most people aren't familiar with and only says anything by comparison to other things the vast majority of people aren't going to know either. 68.190.119.253 10:46, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Some small corrections

Ps-Dionysius (talk) 17:40, 5 June 2008 (UTC) I have made a few alterations to the text which I feel improve its readability. If they are inappropriate please feel free to revert to the original text as I am a Wikipedia Novice.
