    Description

      If I look at my currently installed apps on the desktop almost all of
      them have additional items in their program menus. They are used for:

      1. Readmes
      2. Help files
      3. Links to homepages
      4. Links to registration pages
      5. Uninstalling the program

      The jnlp file should be able to describe additional items as content related
      to an application being installed, so desktop integration is allowed to add
      these items if it deems it is safe and proper to do so.

      for example:

      The information-descriptor element could have added a related-content element
      with href attribute and optional title, description, and icon sub-elements:

      <information-descriptor>
         ...
         <related-content href="readme.html">
              <title>README</title>
              <description>The Readme file coutains a description of the contents
                  of this application</description>
              <icon href="readme.jpg"/>
         </related-content>
         <related-content href="help.html">
              <title>Help</title>
              <description>The help file contains updated help information for
                  this application</description>
              <icon href="help.jpg"/>
         </related-content>
         <related-content href="register.html">
              <title>Register</title>
         </related-content>
      </information-desc>
