/**
 * @deprecated
 *  A Abstract Schema serialization interface. 
 *  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. 
 * 
 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 LSSerializer).
 * See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load
and Save Specification.
