  /**
   * @deprecated 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>LSSerializer</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
