Attempting to install the relevant ISO 2- and 3-letter
         codes as the enumerated possible values is probably never
         going to be a realistic possibility.  See
         RFC 3066 at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3066.txt and the IANA registry
         at http://www.iana.org/assignments/lang-tag-apps.htm for
         further information.

         The union allows for the 'un-declaration' of xml:lang with
         the empty string.
xreflabel optional

Sample

The switch

< option>

-Xss512K

</ option>

increases the stack size of the Java virtual machine. This is necessary because the DocBook schema is quite large. If you get stack overflow errors from MSV, increase this value. You may get spurious error messages if the value is too small, so if you get a stack overflow error, ignore any other error messages and try a larger value for the stack size. If you are not using Sun's Java implementation, please consult the documentation for your virtual machine to learn how to increase the stack size.
