/**
 *  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/2003/CR-DOM-Level-3-LS-20031107'>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-insensitives. 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>].

 * 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.This forces the following parameters to <code>false</code>: "entities
 * ", "normalize-characters", "cdata-sections".This forces the following 
 * parameters to <code>true</code>: "namespaces", "namespace-declarations", "
 * well-formed", "element-content-whitespace".Other parameters are not 
 * changed unless explicitly specified in the description of the parameters. 
 * In addition, the <code>DocumentType</code> node is removed from the tree 
 * if any and superfluous namespace declarations are removed from each 
 * element. Note that querying this parameter with <code>getParameter</code>
