 yp2::Package
 ------------
 
-###
+Represents a package on its way through the series of filters that
+make up a route.  This is essentially a Z39.50 or SRU APDU together
+with information about where it came from, which is modified as it
+passes through the various filters.
+
 
 yp2::Pipe
 ---------
 
-###
+This class provides a compatibility layer so that we have an IPC
+mechanism that works the same under Unix and Windows.  It's not
+particularly exciting.
