<p>The returned node has no parent; (<code>parentNode</code> is <code>null</code>). The source node is not altered or removed from the original document; this method creates a new copy of the source node. <br/>
For all nodes, importing a node creates a node object owned by the importing document, with attribute values identical to the source node's <code>nodeName</code> and <code>nodeType</code>, plus the attributes related to namespaces (<code>prefix</code>, <code>localName</code>, and <code>namespaceURI</code>). As in the <code>cloneNode</code> operation on a <code><aclass="el"href="classxercesc_1_1DOMNode.html"title="The DOMNode interface is the primary datatype for the entire Document Object Model...">DOMNode</a></code>, the source node is not altered. <br/>
Additional information is copied as appropriate to the <code>nodeType</code>, attempting to mirror the behavior expected if a fragment of XML 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. </p>

<p>The actual result depends on the features being set. See <code><aclass="el"href="classxercesc_1_1DOMConfiguration.html"title="The DOMConfiguration interface represents the configuration of a document and maintains...">DOMConfiguration</a></code> for details.</p>
Noticeably this method normalizes <code><aclass="el"href="classxercesc_1_1DOMText.html"title="The DOMText interface inherits from DOMCharacterData and represents the textual content...">DOMText</a></code> nodes, makes the document "namespace wellformed", according to the algorithm described below in pseudo code, by adding missing namespace declaration attributes and adding or changing namespace prefixes, updates the replacement tree of <code><aclass="el"href="classxercesc_1_1DOMEntityReference.html"title="DOMEntityReference objects may be inserted into the structure model when an entity...">DOMEntityReference</a></code> nodes, normalizes attribute values, etc. <br/>
Mutation events, when supported, are generated to reflect the changes occurring on the document. Note that this is a partial implementation. Not all the required features are implemented. Currently <code><aclass="el"href="classxercesc_1_1DOMAttr.html"title="The DOMAttr class refers to an attribute of an XML element.">DOMAttr</a></code> and <code><aclass="el"href="classxercesc_1_1DOMText.html"title="The DOMText interface inherits from DOMCharacterData and represents the textual content...">DOMText</a></code> nodes are normalized.

<p>When possible this simply changes the name of the given node, otherwise this creates a new node with the specified name and replaces the existing node with the new node as described below. This only applies to nodes of type <code>ELEMENT_NODE</code> and <code>ATTRIBUTE_NODE</code>. <br/>
When a new node is created, the following operations are performed: the new node is created, any registered event listener is registered on the new node, any user data attached to the old node is removed from that node, the old node is removed from its parent if it has one, the children are moved to the new node, if the renamed node is an <code><aclass="el"href="classxercesc_1_1DOMElement.html"title="By far the vast majority of objects (apart from text) that authors encounter when...">DOMElement</a></code> its attributes are moved to the new node, the new node is inserted at the position the old node used to have in its parent's child nodes list if it has one, the user data that was attached to the old node is attach to the new node, the user data event <code>NODE_RENAMED</code> is fired. <br/>
When the node being renamed is an <code><aclass="el"href="classxercesc_1_1DOMAttr.html"title="The DOMAttr class refers to an attribute of an XML element.">DOMAttr</a></code> that is attached to an <code><aclass="el"href="classxercesc_1_1DOMElement.html"title="By far the vast majority of objects (apart from text) that authors encounter when...">DOMElement</a></code>, the node is first removed from the <code><aclass="el"href="classxercesc_1_1DOMElement.html"title="By far the vast majority of objects (apart from text) that authors encounter when...">DOMElement</a></code> attributes map. Then, once renamed, either by modifying the existing node or creating a new one as described above, it is put back.</p>
<dlclass="return"><dt><b>Returns:</b></dt><dd>The renamed node. This is either the specified node or the new node that was created to replace the specified node. </dd></dl>

Beware that when the <code><aclass="el"href="classxercesc_1_1DOMDocument.html"title="The DOMDocument interface represents the entire XML document.">DOMDocument</a></code> supports the feature "HTML" , the href attribute of the HTML BASE element takes precedence over this attribute.</p>
