/**
* The <code>DOMConfiguration</code> interface represents the configuration
* of a document and maintains a table of recognized parameters. Using the
* configuration, it is possible to change
* <code>Document.normalizeDocument()</code> behavior, such as replacing the
* <code>CDATASection</code> nodes with <code>Text</code> nodes or
* specifying the type of the schema that must be used when the validation
* of the <code>Document</code> is requested. <code>DOMConfiguration</code>
* 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>]
* in the <code>DOMParser</code> and <code>DOMSerializer</code> interfaces.
* <p> The parameter names used by the <code>DOMConfiguration</code> object
* are defined throughout the DOM Level 3 specifications. Names are
* case-insensitive. To avoid possible conflicts, as a convention, names
* referring to parameters defined outside the DOM specification should be
* made unique. Because parameters are exposed as properties in the , names
* are recommended to follow the section 5.16 Identifiers of [Unicode] with the addition of the character '-' (HYPHEN-MINUS) but it is not
* enforced by the DOM implementation. DOM Level 3 Core Implementations are
* required to recognize all parameters defined in this specification. Some
* parameter values may also be required to be supported by the
* implementation. Refer to the definition of the parameter to know if a
* value must be supported or not.
* <p ><b>Note:</b> Parameters are similar to features and properties used in
* SAX2 [<a href='http://www.saxproject.org/'>SAX</a>].
* <p> The following list of parameters defined in the DOM:
* <dl>
* <dt>
* <code>"canonical-form"</code></dt>
* <dd>
* <dl>
* <dt><code>true</code></dt>
* <dd>[<em>optional</em>] Canonicalize the document according to the rules specified in [<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xml-c14n-20010315'>Canonical XML</a>],
* such as removing the <code>DocumentType</code> node (if any) from the
* tree, or removing superfluous namespace declarations from each element.
* Note that this is limited to what can be represented in the DOM; in
* particular, there is no way to specify the order of the attributes in the
* DOM. In addition, Setting this parameter to <code>true</code> will also
* set the state of the parameters listed below. Later changes to the state
* of one of those parameters will revert "canonical-form" back to
* <code>false</code>. Parameters set to <code>false</code>: "entities", "
* normalize-characters", "cdata-sections". Parameters set to
* <code>true</code>: "namespaces", "namespace-declarations", "well-formed",
