/**
 *  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 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",
