 Sub-elements
 ------------
 
+Complex attributes or other informations related to an object may be
+represented by sub-elements. The standard example for this kind of data
+are the Dublin Core (DC) attributes.
+
+By importing the annotation module the corresponding element class will be
+registered.
+
   >>> from loops.external import annotation
 
   >>> input = """concept('myquery', u'My Query', 'query', viewName='mystuff.html')[
-  ...     annotations(creators='john')]"""
+  ...     annotations(creators=(u'john',))]"""
   >>> elements = reader.read(input)
   >>> elements[0].subElements
-  [{'creators': 'john'}]
+  [{'creators': (u'john',)}]
+
+Loading the element with the sub-element stores the DC attributes.
 
   >>> loader.load(elements)
-  [('creators', 'john')]
+  >>> from zope.dublincore.interfaces import IZopeDublinCore
+  >>> dc = IZopeDublinCore(concepts['myquery'])

+two sub-elements.
