+//! Servo heavily uses display lists, which are retained-mode lists of rendering commands to
+/// perform. Using a list instead of rendering elements in immediate mode allows transforms, hit
+/// testing, and invalidation to be performed using the same primitives as painting. It also allows
+/// Servo to aggressively cull invisible and out-of-bounds rendering elements, to reduce overdraw.
+/// Finally, display lists allow tiles to be farmed out onto multiple CPUs and rendered in
+/// parallel (although this benefit does not apply to GPU-based rendering).
+///
+/// Display items describe relatively high-level drawing operations (for example, entire borders
+/// and shadows instead of lines and blur operations), to reduce the amount of allocation required.
+/// They are therefore not exactly analogous to constructs like Skia pictures, which consist of
+/// low-level drawing primitives.
