+          Added new package dependency type, "embeds".  This is a variant of the
+          "extends" package dependency type added in OpenACS 5.5.0.  It allows one
+          to write embeddable packages, with scripts made visible in client packages
+          using URLs which include the embedded package's package key.  An example
+          embeddable package might be a rewritten "attachments" package.  The current
+          implementation requires a global instance be mounted, and client packages
+          generate urls to that global instance.  Among other things, this leads to
+          the user navigating to the top-level subsite, losing any subsite theming
+          that might be associated with a community.  Using "embeds", a rewritten
+          package would run in the client package's context, maintaining theming and
+          automatically associating attachments with the client package.
