+Please preserve the following when adding files here:
+
+All documents except the two standard MIDI ones have the conventional naming
+scheme Manufacturer_Model.midnam, with spaces replaced with underscores.
+
+All documents validate against MIDINameDocument10.dtd. Please ensure any
+changes or additions do not break the documents. To check, run:
+
+xmllint --dtdvalid MIDINameDocument10.dtd My_Device.midnam > /dev/null
+
+The same tool can be used to format the file nicely:
+
+xmllint --format My_Device.ugly.midnam > My_Device.midnam
