 \section{Improved load-times for \pkg{expl3}}
 
-The \LaTeX3 programming layer, \pkg{expl3}, has over the past decade moved
-from being largely experimental to broadly stable. It is now used in a
-significant number of third-party packages, most notably \pkg{fontspec}, which
-is loaded in most \LaTeX{} documents compiled using \XeTeX{} or \LuaTeX{}.
+The \LaTeX3 programming layer, \pkg{expl3}, has over the past decade moved from
+being largely experimental to broadly stable. It is now used in a significant
+number of third-party packages, most notably \pkg{xparse} for defining
+interfaces in cases where no \pkg{expl3} code is \enquote{visible}. Most
+\LaTeX{} documents compiled using \XeTeX{} or \LuaTeX{} load \pkg{fontspec},
+which is written using \pkg{expl3}.
 
 The \pkg{expl3} layer contains a non-trivial number of macros, and when used
 with the \XeTeX{} and \LuaTeX{} engines, it loads a large body of Unicode data.
