Problem description
===================
Uncertainty in BaseRowSet spec while calling BaseRowSet class.

    Quotes:
    "public int getFetchDirection() throws java.sql.SQLException
     Retrieves this JDBC RowSet object's current setting for the fetch
     direction."

    (Here BaseRowSet class called as "JDBC RowSet")

    Quote:
    "public void setUrl(java.lang.String url) throws java.sql.SQLException
     The JDBC RowSet will use the URL internally to create a database
     connection in order to read or write data."

    (Here "JDBC RowSet" means the BaseRowSet subclass wich
     implements some of interfaces JdbcRowSet, CachedRowSet..)

    That is pretty confusing. It takes time to determine what
    functionality belongs to what class (this BaseRowSet or some
    subclass) because it is ambiguous.

    And that problem exists all over the BaseRowSet class
    description. It is un-separated the current (BaseRowSet) class's
    definition and some abstract description of BaseRowSet's
    subclasses implementations. May be some assertion like "here and
    further under "JDBC RowSet we mean BaseRowSet" should be stated or
    something should be done here.
