15 /**
16  *  The <code>DOMConfiguration</code> interface represents the configuration
17  * of a document and maintains a table of recognized parameters. Using the
18  * configuration, it is possible to change
19  * <code>Document.normalizeDocument()</code> behavior, such as replacing the
20  * <code>CDATASection</code> nodes with <code>Text</code> nodes or
21  * specifying the type of the schema that must be used when the validation
22  * of the <code>Document</code> is requested. <code>DOMConfiguration</code>
23  * objects are also used in [<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-LS-20040407'>DOM Level 3 Load and Save</a>]
24  *  in the <code>DOMParser</code> and <code>DOMSerializer</code> interfaces.
25  * <p> The parameter names used by the <code>DOMConfiguration</code> object
26  * are defined throughout the DOM Level 3 specifications. Names are
27  * case-insensitive. To avoid possible conflicts, as a convention, names
28  * referring to parameters defined outside the DOM specification should be
29  * made unique. Because parameters are exposed as properties in the , names
30  * are recommended to follow the section 5.16 Identifiers of [Unicode] with the addition of the character '-' (HYPHEN-MINUS) but it is not
31  * enforced by the DOM implementation. DOM Level 3 Core Implementations are
32  * required to recognize all parameters defined in this specification. Some
33  * parameter values may also be required to be supported by the
34  * implementation. Refer to the definition of the parameter to know if a
35  * value must be supported or not.
36  * <p ><b>Note:</b>  Parameters are similar to features and properties used in
37  * SAX2 [<a href='http://www.saxproject.org/'>SAX</a>].
