"""This script downloads XML data from the International ISBN Agency
website and provides a compact form of all group prefixes, and registrant
ranges for those prefixes suitable for the numdb module. This data is needed
to correctly split ISBNs into an EAN.UCC prefix, a group prefix, a registrant,
an item number and a check-digit."""
