  *  == DOM ==
  *  Extensions to DOM elements, plus other utilities for DOM traversal
  *  and modification.
+ *  
+ *  Prototype's DOM extensions represent a large portion of where you'll spend
+ *  your time. Prototype adds many convenience methods to elements returned by
+ *  the [[$]] function. For instance, you can write
+ *  
+ *      $('comments').addClassName('active').show();
+ *  
+ *  to get the element with the ID of `comments`, add a class name to it, and
+ *  show it (if it was previously hidden).
+ *  
+ *  In other words, Prototype adds "instance" methods to DOM nodes. This is
+ *  made possible by direct extension of the backing DOM objects (in browsers
+ *  that support it) and by manual extension of individual nodes (in browsers
+ *  that do not).
