Since the "https://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jls/se10/jls10.pdf 8.4.3.1 abstract Methods" is silent about redeclaring protected abstract methods in subclasses as public, id like to ask if it does not only compile but where it is mentioned in the docs.

Assume in abstract class i have abstract protected void fromAbove(String d); and extending the class i redeclare with public void fromAbove(String data) {....}
is this valid?
