* Imports a node from another document to this document, without altering

For all nodes, importing a node creates a node object owned by the

* attributes related to namespaces (prefix,
* localName, and namespaceURI). As in the

Additional information is copied as appropriate to the

* 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

* is set to null and the specified flag is

* 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
* DocumentFragment are recursively imported and the
* resulting nodes reassembled under the imported
* DocumentFragment 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 this type
* of nodes since they cannot have any children.
* -
* PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE
* - The imported node copies its
*
target and data values from those of the
* source node.Note that the deep parameter has no effect
* on this type of nodes since they cannot have any children.
* - 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.Note
* that the deep parameter has no effect on these types of
* nodes since they cannot have any children.
*
* @param importedNode The node to import.
* @param deep If true, recursively import the subtree under
