+<p>This extension provides a mechanism for plugins to portably refer to files
+in persistent plugin state (using the <a
+href="http://lv2plug.in/ns/ext/persist">LV2 Persist</a> extension), and create
+instance-local files in host-defined locations (e.g. for recording).</p>
 
 <p>The motivating idea behind this extension is that all details of file
 management MUST be handled by the host since different hosts may have very
 different requirements.  Plugins MUST NOT make any assumption about file system
 locations beyond what is explicitly guaranteed by this extension.</p>
 
+<p>This extension defines two features: <a
+href="#newFileSupport">files:newFileSupport</a> allows plugins to create new
+files within an instance-specific namespace at any time (except in realtime
+contexts); while <a href="#pathSupport">files:pathSupport</a> allows plugins
+to refer to file paths in plugin state in a way transparent to the host.</p>
+
 <p>To create a new file, the plugin MUST request a path from the host using
-LV2_Files_File_Support::new_file_path().  Thus, the host may choose an
+LV2_Files_New_File_Support::new_file_path().  Thus, the host may choose an
 appropriate location for the file (e.g. a writable path on the appropriate disk
 volume or a path within a session directory) using information not available to
 the plugin.</p>
 
 <p>To store a path in persistent state, the plugin MUST map it to an
-<q>abstract path</q> using LV2_Files_File_Support::abstract_path().  To use a
+<q>abstract path</q> using LV2_Files_Path_Support::abstract_path().  To use a
 path loaded from persistent state, the plugin MUST map the (abstract) path to
-an absolute path using LV2_Files_File_Support::absolute_path().  Thus, the host
+an absolute path using LV2_Files_Path_Support::absolute_path().  Thus, the host
 can manage all paths used in a session and support exporting sessions to a
