'''THIS IS OUTDATED DOCUMENTATION''' See new Umlaut documentation at http://github.com/team-umlaut/umlaut/wiki
---------
 
Umlaut has a complete api for resolve actions, which can be delivered in XML or json. For simple uses of embedding Umlaut content on a page, you may find the [[Umlaut partial html API]] or [[Umlaut partial html API javascript helper]] easier to use.
This block will only be present when <complete> is 'false'.
<refresh_url> provides a url the client can request again to see further results. If the client user agent does not support cookies, then this refresh_url must be used to continue retrieving results from the same Umlaut request, instead of accidentally creating a new request. Even if your client does support cookies, using the <refresh_url> is safest--simply refreshing the URL you loaded initially may accidentally create a new request. (The refresh_url given includes an umlaut.request_id parameter to ensure connection to the proper request). '''note well:''' The URL, like any other data in XML, is XML-escaped, and needs to be un-escaped before using.
<requested_wait_seconds> is a request from Umlaut for the client to wait this many seconds before asking for more results. Umlaut has no way to enforce this, it's only a request. Please wait a reasonable amount of time to avoid overloading Umlaut however.
