- /**
- * A generic grammar for use in validating XML documents. The Grammar
- * object stores the validation information in a compiled form. Specific
- * subclasses extend this class and "populate" the grammar by compiling
- * the specific syntax (DTD, Schema, etc) into the data structures used
- * by this object.
- * <p>
- * <strong>Note:</strong> The Grammar object is not useful as a generic
- * grammar access or query object. In other words, you cannot round-trip
- * specific grammar syntaxes with the compiled grammar information in
- * the Grammar object. You <em>can</em> create equivalent validation
- * rules in your choice of grammar syntax but there is no guarantee that
- * the input and output will be the same.
- *
- * <p> Right now, this class is largely a shell; eventually,
- * it will be enriched by having more expressive methods added. </p>
- * will be moved from dtd.Grammar here.
