Notes
  1. POSS1 103a-O values used.
gollark: Like FTL modding, as far as I know.
gollark: JSON is of course far superior.
gollark: You need to use those weird `>` entity tag thingies, too, to escape text inside the tags.
gollark: Yes, all the slashes and angled brackets make escaping it very annoying to escape.
gollark: It could probably be stupider if they then decided to convert the XML tag structure to CBOR, but they clearly weren't *that* insane.
