<para>
A section of the WAL data stream.
</para>
<para>
A single WAL record is never split across two XLogData messages.
When a WAL record crosses a WAL page boundary, and is therefore
already split using continuation records, it can be split at the page
boundary. In other words, the first main WAL record and its
continuation records can be sent in different XLogData messages.
