			The ONE language is a syntax for encoding ONE elements.

			A unit of text written in the ONE language is referred to as a ONE document.

				The ONE language requires three unique sequences of characters to be defined: the
				terminating sequence, the breaking sequence, and the nesting sequence. It is not
				permitted for the sequences to be defined such that there may be any instances
				where two or more sequences conflict at a given location.

				The ONE language is composed entirely of ONE element definitions. No characters are
				permitted outside of element definitions.

				An element definition begins with the terminating sequence, followed by the
				breaking sequence. The breaking sequence may either be followed by the nesting
				sequence or by the terminating sequence. If it is followed by the terminating
				sequence, said terminating sequence will end the element definition. If it is
				followed by the nesting sequence, then the nesting sequence may be followed by any
				sequence of characters as long as the breaking sequence does not occur within it.
				This sequence is referred to as the encoded sequence. The encoded sequence is
				followed by the breaking sequence, which must be followed either with the nesting
				sequence which continues the element definition, or by the terminating sequence
				which ends the element definition. If an element definition precedes another
				element definition, the final terminating sequence within it must be followed by
				the breaking sequence.

				Element definitions may be nested within one another. If an element definition is
				nested within another element definition, the child element definition must be
				placed directly after its parent. For every terminating sequence and for every
				nesting sequence which immediately precedes an encoded sequence within the element
				definition, one instance of the nesting sequence must be placed between the
				breaking sequence that precedes said sequence and said sequence for every level the
				element definition is nested.

			-
				The encoded data will begin as an element with no parent and no content referred to
				as the document element.

				Every element definition with no parent will encode an element as a child of the
				document element. Every element definition with a parent will encode an element as
				a child of the element defined by its parent element definition.

				If an element definition contains no encoded sequences, the element encoded by it
				will have no content.

				If an element definition does contain encoded sequences, then the content encoded
				into elements defined by element definitions will consist of the content of each
				encoded sequence within the respective element definition, each with the exception
				of the content last occurring encoded sequence within the respective element
				definition followed by an instance of the breaking sequence, concatenated in the
				order in which the respective encoded sequences occur within the respective element
				definition.

				The order in which elements defined by element definitions are arranged within
				their parent element shall correspond to the order in which the definitions that
				defined them occur.

				Encoding a ONE document begins with a single element. If the element in question
				has no content, it will become the document element. If the element in question has
				content, it will be assigned a parent with no content, which will become the
				document element.
