combine and give a &quot;layered&quot; effect. For example,
HTTPConfigElements have properties for domain, path, method, and
parameters. If element A has everything filled in, but null for domain,
and element B is added, which has only domain filled in, then after
adding B to A, A will have the domain from B. If A already had a domain,
then the correct behavior is for A to ignore the addition of element B.</div>
