+// Servo, the mighty web browser engine from the future.
+//
+// This is a very simple library that wires all of Servo's components
+// together as type `Browser`, along with a generic client
+// implementing the `WindowMethods` trait, to create a working web
+// browser.
+//
+// The `Browser` type is responsible for configuring a
+// `Constellation`, which does the heavy lifting of coordinating all
+// of Servo's internal subsystems, including the `ScriptTask` and the
+// `LayoutTask`, as well maintains the navigation context.
+//
+// The `Browser` is fed events from a generic type that implements the
+// `WindowMethods` trait.
