RuleSet (dom4j API)

java.lang.Object
- org.dom4j.rule.RuleSet

```
public class RuleSet
extends Object
```
RuleSet manages a set of rules which are sorted in order of relevance according to the XSLT defined conflict resolution policy. This makes finding the correct rule for a DOM4J Node using the XSLT processing model efficient as the rules can be evaluated in order of priority.
