It doesn't mention it because it doesn't need to. The limit of the Java 
language is the CompilationUnit production. A compiler is free to parse 
text outside that production and store it in a ModuleData attribute.

They won't be checked for syntax or semantics because they're not part 
of the Java language or module system. See 
http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/doc/draft-java-module-system-requirements-12#extensible-module-declarations.
