| * A Abstract Schema serialization interface. |
| * <p> DOMASWriters provides an API for serializing Abstract Schemas out in |
| * the form of a source Abstract Schema. The Abstract Schema is written to |
| * an output stream, the type of which depends on the specific language |
| * bindings in use. |
| * <p> DOMASWriter is a generic Abstract Schema serialization interface. It |
| * can be applied to both an internal Abstract Schema and/or an external |
| * Abstract Schema. DOMASWriter is applied to serialize a single Abstract |
| * Schema. Serializing a document with an active Internal Abstract Schema |
| * will serialize this internal Abstract Schema with the document as it is |
| * part of the Document (see <code>DOMWriter</code>). |
| * <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-DOM-Level-3-ASLS-20011025'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load |
