  <description value="A client can ask a server to generate a fully bundled document from a composition
   resource. The server takes the composition resource, locates all the referenced
   resources and other additional resources as configured or requested and either
   returns a full document bundle, or returns an error. If some of the resources are
   located on other servers, it is at the discretion of the  server whether to retrieve
   them or return an error. If the correct version of the document  that would be
   generated already exists, then the server can return the existing one."/>
