# Note that you can define your own XML parameter parser which would allow you to describe multiple entities
# in a single request (i.e., by wrapping them all in a single root node), but if you just go with the flow
# and accept Rails' defaults, life will be much easier.

+ # Further more, you may call the #any method on the block's object in order to run the same code for different responses.

+ # This will limit the @people variable to 10 people records if we're requesting HTML, but will list all the
+ # people for any xml or atom request.

# If you need to use a MIME type which isn't supported by default, you can register your own handlers in
# environment.rb as follows.
