After conferring with Karen in person on this issue, we agreed to change:
- Primary Server Module to XML Server
- Remote Server Module to XML Reader
(the above not to be confused with ManifestServ and ManifestRead).
I've updated the spec accordingly and added a table of contents. All of
the latest XML parsing specs are available at:

Thanks,
