15 * Author: Steffen Meschkat <mesch@google.com>
16 *
17 * @fileoverview A simple formatter to project JavaScript data into
18 * HTML templates. The template is edited in place. I.e. in order to
19 * instantiate a template, clone it from the DOM first, and then
20 * process the cloned template. This allows for updating of templates:
21 * If the templates is processed again, changed values are merely
22 * updated.
23 *
24 * NOTE(mesch): IE DOM doesn't have importNode().
25 *
26 * NOTE(mesch): The property name "length" must not be used in input
27 * data, see comment in jstSelect_().
