/**

 * Provides DOM specific transformation classes.

 * <p>

 * The {@link javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource} class allows the

 * client of the implementation of this API to specify a DOM

 * {@link org.w3c.dom.Node} as the source of the input tree. The model of

 * how the Transformer deals with the DOM tree in terms of mismatches with the

 * <A href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#data-model">XSLT data model</A> or

 * other data models is beyond the scope of this document. Any of the nodes

 * derived from {@link org.w3c.dom.Node} are legal input.

 * <p>

 * The {@link javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMResult} class allows

 * a {@link org.w3c.dom.Node} to be specified to which result DOM nodes will

 * be appended. If an output node is not specified, the transformer will use

 * {@link javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder#newDocument} to create an

 * output {@link org.w3c.dom.Document} node. If a node is specified, it

 * should be one of the following: {@link org.w3c.dom.Document},

 * {@link org.w3c.dom.Element}, or

 * {@link org.w3c.dom.DocumentFragment}. Specification of any other node

 * type is implementation dependent and undefined by this API. If the result is a

 * {@link org.w3c.dom.Document}, the output of the transformation must have

 * a single element root to set as the document element.

 * <p>

 * The {@link javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMLocator} node may be passed

 * to {@link javax.xml.transform.TransformerException} objects, and

 * retrieved by trying to cast the result of the

 * {@link javax.xml.transform.TransformerException#getLocator()} method.

 * The implementation has no responsibility to use a DOMLocator instead of a

 * {@link javax.xml.transform.SourceLocator} (though line numbers and the

 * like do not make much sense for a DOM), so the result of getLocator must always

 * be tested with an instanceof.

 *

 * @since 1.5
