/**
* Imports a node from another document to this document. The returned
* node has no parent; (parentNode is null).
* The source node is not altered or removed from the original document;
* this method creates a new copy of the source node.
*
For all nodes, importing a node creates a node object owned by the
* importing document, with attribute values identical to the source
* node's nodeName and nodeType, plus the
* attributes related to namespaces (prefix,
* localName, and namespaceURI). As in the
* cloneNode operation on a Node, the source
* node is not altered.
*
Additional information is copied as appropriate to the
* nodeType, attempting to mirror the behavior expected if
* a fragment of XML or HTML source was copied from one document to
* another, recognizing that the two documents may have different DTDs
* in the XML case. The following list describes the specifics for each
* type of node.
*
* - ATTRIBUTE_NODE
* - The
ownerElement attribute
* is set to null and the specified flag is
* set to true on the generated Attr. The
* descendants of the source Attr are recursively imported
* and the resulting nodes reassembled to form the corresponding subtree.
* Note that the deep parameter has no effect on
* Attr nodes; they always carry their children with them
* when imported.
* - DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE
* - If the
deep option
* was set to true, the descendants of the source element
* are recursively imported and the resulting nodes reassembled to form
* the corresponding subtree. Otherwise, this simply generates an empty
* DocumentFragment.
* - DOCUMENT_NODE
* Document
* nodes cannot be imported.- DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE
* DocumentType
* nodes cannot be imported.- ELEMENT_NODE
* - Specified attribute nodes of the
* source element are imported, and the generated
Attr
* nodes are attached to the generated Element. Default
* attributes are not copied, though if the document being imported into
* defines default attributes for this element name, those are assigned.
* If the importNode deep parameter was set to
* true, the descendants of the source element are
* recursively imported and the resulting nodes reassembled to form the
* corresponding subtree.
* - ENTITY_NODE
* Entity nodes can be
* imported, however in the current release of the DOM the
* DocumentType is readonly. Ability to add these imported
* nodes to a DocumentType will be considered for addition
* to a future release of the DOM.On import, the publicId,
* systemId, and notationName attributes are
* copied. If a deep import is requested, the descendants
* of the the source Entity are recursively imported and
* the resulting nodes reassembled to form the corresponding subtree.-
* ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE
* - Only the
EntityReference itself is
* copied, even if a deep import is requested, since the
* source and destination documents might have defined the entity
* differently. If the document being imported into provides a
* definition for this entity name, its value is assigned.
* - NOTATION_NODE
* -
*
Notation nodes can be imported, however in the current
* release of the DOM the DocumentType is readonly. Ability
* to add these imported nodes to a DocumentType will be
* considered for addition to a future release of the DOM.On import, the
* publicId and systemId attributes are copied.
* Note that the deep parameter has no effect on
* Notation nodes since they never have any children.
* -
* PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE
* - The imported node copies its
*
target and data values from those of the
* source node.
* - TEXT_NODE, CDATA_SECTION_NODE, COMMENT_NODE
* - These three
* types of nodes inheriting from
CharacterData copy their
* data and length attributes from those of
* the source node.
*
* @param importedNode The node to import.
* @param deep If true, recursively import the subtree under
* the specified node; if false, import only the node
* itself, as explained above. This has no effect on Attr
* , EntityReference, and Notation nodes.
* @return The imported node that belongs to this Document.
* @exception DOMException
* NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the type of node being imported is not
* supported.
