     17  * @fileoverview A simple formatter to project JavaScript data into
     18  * HTML templates. The template is edited in place. I.e. in order to
     19  * instantiate a template, clone it from the DOM first, and then
     20  * process the cloned template. This allows for updating of templates:
     21  * If the templates is processed again, changed values are merely
     22  * updated.
     23  *
     24  * NOTE(mesch): IE DOM doesn't have importNode().
     25  *
     26  * NOTE(mesch): The property name "length" must not be used in input
     27  * data, see comment in jstSelect_().
