63 +//<match_dock> nodes can now be used on container and walkablemodule classes without wrapping them in <match_content> nodes.
64 +This has introduced a new potential pitfall: If finding or counting contained components be wary that there may be multiple positive results, even if there is only one dockingbay. e.g. matching contents for a station will include the dockingbay but also its containing walkable module as that also contains the dockingbay. To only account for docking bays, also filter by dockingbay class.//
