+Notes
+-----
+iXML allows an XML document to be embedded in a WAV file.
+
+The iXML website recommends a schema for recorder information but 
+there is no official DTD and vendors mostly do their own thing, apart from 
+hitting a few key xpaths. iXML is used by most location/production recorders 
+to save slating information, timecode and sync points in a reliable way.
+
+iXML is also used to link "families" of WAV files together, so WAV files
+recorded simultaneously or contiguously can be related by a receiving client.
+
+..  code:: python
+
+    print("iXML Project:", info.ixml.project)
+    print("iXML Scene:", info.ixml.scene)
+    print("iXML Take:", info.ixml.take)
+    print("iXML Tape:", info.ixml.tape)
+    print("iXML File Family Name:", info.ixml.family_name)
+    print("iXML File Family UID:", info.ixml.family_uid)
+
+Result:
+
+::
+
+    iXML Project: BMH
+    iXML Scene: A101
+    iXML Take: 1
+    iXML Tape: 18Y12M31
+    iXML File Family Name: None
