19   *  A Abstract Schema serialization interface. 
20   * <p> DOMASWriters provides an API for serializing Abstract Schemas out in 
21   * the form of a source Abstract Schema. The Abstract Schema is written to 
22   * an output stream, the type of which depends on the specific language 
23   * bindings in use. 
24   * <p> DOMASWriter is a generic Abstract Schema serialization interface. It 
25   * can be applied to both an internal Abstract Schema and/or an external 
26   * Abstract Schema. DOMASWriter is applied to serialize a single Abstract 
27   * Schema. Serializing a document with an active Internal Abstract Schema 
28   * will serialize this internal Abstract Schema with the document as it is 
29   * part of the Document (see <code>LSSerializer</code>).
30   * <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
