 =head1 NAME 
 
-Class::MOP::Object - Object Meta Object
+Class::MOP::Object - Base class for metaclasses
 
 =head1 DESCRIPTION
 
-This class is basically a stub, it provides almost no functionality at all, 
-and really just exists to make the Class::MOP metamodel complete.

-A deeper discussion of this model is currently beyond the scope of 
-this documenation. 
-  
+This class is a very minimal base class for metaclasses.
+
 =head1 METHODS
 
+This class provides a few methods which are useful in all metaclasses.
+
 =over 4
 
-=item B<meta>
+=item B<< Class::MOP::???->meta >>
+
+This returns a L<Class::MOP::Class> object.
 
-=item B<dump (?$max_depth)>
+=item B<< $metaobject->dump($max_depth) >>
 
-This will C<require> the L<Data::Dumper> module and then dump a 
-representation of your object. It passed the C<$max_depth> arg 
-to C<$Data::Dumper::Maxdepth>. The default C<$max_depth> is 1, 
-so it will not go crazy and print a massive bunch of stuff. 
-Adjust this as nessecary.
+This method uses L<Data::Dumper> to dump the object. You can pass an
+optional maximum depth, which will set C<$Data::Dumper::Maxdepth>. The
+default maximum depth is 1.
