+
+_BODY_ is a command line (the program name and any arguments) that should be
+executed for every file that has the attribute _NAME_, and is macro-expanded on
+use.

+## Protocols
+
+The following generator protocols are currently supported:
+
+*simple*
+ Receives one filename at a time, outputs dependencies, one per line.
"default" doesn't describe a protocol, the default could change. I'd just go with "singlefile" because it's the obvious "opposite" of "multifile". I see exactly one more protocol to support in this area, and that's multiple files and multiple dependency types at once.
