+This extension defines a generic format for a typed piece of data, called an
+"atom" (e.g. integers, strings, buffers, data structures, etc). Atoms allow
+LV2 plugins and host to communicate and store values of any type and size via
+a generic mechanism (e.g. port buffers, event payloads, shared data, etc.).
+Atoms are simple a chunk of memory with a type and a size, and are (with
+one exception) Plain Old Data (POD) and may be safely copied (e.g. with a
+simple call to <code>memcpy</code>). Because they are POD, hosts and plugins
+can communicate atoms of any type, even if they do not understand that type.
+This allows two plugins that both understand some type to be used together in
+a host that does not itself understand that type, or allows a host to send
+atoms "through" a plugin that does not understand them (for e.g. routing,
+delaying, or buffering plugins).
+
+Atoms as defined by this extension can be trivially constructed in-place
+from events as defined by the <a href="http://lv2plug.in/ns/ext/event">LV2
+Event</a> extension. A valid LV2_Atom (see atom.h) is contained within
+any valid LV2_Event (see event.h). An LV2_Event is simply an LV2_Atom
+with a time stamp header prepended. Atoms should be used anywhere a "value"
+needs to be stored or communicated, which allows implementations to be
+polymorphic and extensible.
+
+Optionally, the host MAY support "Blobs", which are dynamically allocated
+chunks of memory that (unlike Atoms) are not necessarily POD. Blobs are
+accessed via references, which are a special case of Atom that always have
+type 0, are not POD, and can only be copied using host provided functions.
+This allows plugins and hosts to work with data of any type at all.
+Blob data MUST NOT be used in any way by an implementation that does not
+understand that blob type (meaningful type-oblivious use is impossible,
+e.g. the blob pointer may not point to actual memory).
+
+This extension requires the host to support the <a
+href="http://lv2plug.in/ns/ext/uri-map">LV2 URI Map</a> extension.

+Base class for all types of LV2 Atom.
+
+All Atom types (instances of this class, which are themselves classes)
+must define a precise binary layout for that type of atom, which dictates
+the format of the data following the LV2_Atom header. Pedantically, this
+class refers to the type of memory starting where the LV2_Atom header starts,
+i.e. a chunk of memory with any type that is a subClassOf atom:AtomType by
+definition starts with an LV2_Atom. The area after the header is referred
+to as the atom's "body".
+
+The URIs of subclasses of atom:AtomType are mapped to integers and used as
+the type field of an LV2_Atom. If a plugin or host does not understand
+the type of an LV2_Atom, that atom SHOULD simply be ignored (though it
+MAY be simply copied if it is not a reference).
+
+All atoms are POD by definition, except references, which have type 0.
+An atom MUST NOT contain a reference. It is safe to copy any type of
+atom except type 0 with a simple memcpy using the size field, even if the
+implementation does not understand the actual type of that atom.

+A message is a communication from one component to another. Messages

+dictates how the triples are to be interpreted (e.g. the selector can
+be used as a "verb" to build commands).
+
+The payload of a message is always an atom:Triples so hosts and plugins can
+always work with message data (e.g. to serialise for saved state or an undo
+stack), even if they do not specifically understand a particular message.
