=head2 <method>

Each method take this form:

  <method name="foo.bar.quux" needslogin="1">
    <description>Very short description of method's basic behaviour</description>
    <keywords>...</keywords>
    <arguments>...</arguments>
    <response>...</response>
    <errors>...</errors>
  </method>

=over

=item <keywords>

A space-separated list of keywords of the concepts touched upon
by this method. As an example, clockthat.events.addTags would
have "events tags" as its keywords. This way we can easily list
all methods that deals with tags, no matter where in the
namespace they live.

=item <arguments>

Each argument has two mandatory attributes: "name" and
"optional". The name is the name of the argument, and optional is
"1" if the argument is optional, or "0" otherwise.

  <argument name="api_key" optional="0">A non-optional argument</argument>
  <argument name="quux_id" optional="1">An optional argument</argument>

You can specify that your argument should accept a comma-separated list of values:

  <argument name="array_val" type="csv" optional="1">Don't
    worry about description for argument type deduction now.</argument>

=item <response>

A well-formed XML fragment (excluding the <rsp> tag) describing
by example how this method will respond. This section can be
empty if the method does not return. When a list of elements are
expected, your example response B<must contain at least two>
elements of the same name.

  <photoset page="1" per_page="10" pages="9" total="83">
    <name>beyond repair</name>
    <photo photo_id="1123" />
    <photo photo_id="2345" />
  </photos>

Currently we accept both a well-formed XML fragment and an
entity-encoded string that can be decoded to an XML fragment.

=item <errors>

A list of errors of this form:

  <error code="1" message="Short message">Longer error message</error>
