     * <br>Additional information is copied as appropriate to the 
     * <code>nodeType</code>, 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. 
     * <dl>
     * <dt>ATTRIBUTE_NODE</dt>
     * <dd>The <code>ownerElement</code> attribute 
     * is set to <code>null</code> and the <code>specified</code> flag is 
     * set to <code>true</code> on the generated <code>Attr</code>. The 
     * descendants of the source <code>Attr</code> are recursively imported 
     * and the resulting nodes reassembled to form the corresponding subtree.
     * Note that the <code>deep</code> parameter has no effect on 
     * <code>Attr</code> nodes; they always carry their children with them 
     * when imported.</dd>
     * <dt>DOCUMENT_FRAGMENT_NODE</dt>
     * <dd>If the <code>deep</code> option 
     * was set to <code>true</code>, 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 
     * <code>DocumentFragment</code>.</dd>
     * <dt>DOCUMENT_NODE</dt>
     * <dd><code>Document</code> 
     * nodes cannot be imported.</dd>
     * <dt>DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE</dt>
     * <dd><code>DocumentType</code> 
     * nodes cannot be imported.</dd>
     * <dt>ELEMENT_NODE</dt>
     * <dd>Specified attribute nodes of the 
     * source element are imported, and the generated <code>Attr</code> 
     * nodes are attached to the generated <code>Element</code>. Default 
     * attributes are not copied, though if the document being imported into 
     * defines default attributes for this element name, those are assigned. 
     * If the <code>importNode</code> <code>deep</code> parameter was set to 
     * <code>true</code>, the descendants of the source element are 
     * recursively imported and the resulting nodes reassembled to form the 
     * corresponding subtree.</dd>
     * <dt>ENTITY_NODE</dt>
     * <dd><code>Entity</code> nodes can be 
     * imported, however in the current release of the DOM the 
     * <code>DocumentType</code> is readonly. Ability to add these imported 
     * nodes to a <code>DocumentType</code> will be considered for addition 
     * to a future release of the DOM.On import, the <code>publicId</code>, 
     * <code>systemId</code>, and <code>notationName</code> attributes are 
     * copied. If a <code>deep</code> import is requested, the descendants 
     * of the the source <code>Entity</code> are recursively imported and 
     * the resulting nodes reassembled to form the corresponding subtree.</dd>
     * <dt>
     * ENTITY_REFERENCE_NODE</dt>
     * <dd>Only the <code>EntityReference</code> itself is 
     * copied, even if a <code>deep</code> 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.</dd>
     * <dt>NOTATION_NODE</dt>
     * <dd>
     * <code>Notation</code> nodes can be imported, however in the current 
     * release of the DOM the <code>DocumentType</code> is readonly. Ability 
     * to add these imported nodes to a <code>DocumentType</code> will be 
     * considered for addition to a future release of the DOM.On import, the 
     * <code>publicId</code> and <code>systemId</code> attributes are copied.
     * Note that the <code>deep</code> parameter has no effect on 
     * <code>Notation</code> nodes since they never have any children.</dd>
     * <dt>
     * PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE</dt>
     * <dd>The imported node copies its 
     * <code>target</code> and <code>data</code> values from those of the 
     * source node.</dd>
     * <dt>TEXT_NODE, CDATA_SECTION_NODE, COMMENT_NODE</dt>
     * <dd>These three 
     * types of nodes inheriting from <code>CharacterData</code> copy their 
     * <code>data</code> and <code>length</code> attributes from those of 
     * the source node.</dd>
