/**
 * DOMLocalization is an extension of the Fluent Localization API.
 *
 * DOMLocalization adds a state for storing `roots` - DOM elements
 * which translation status is controlled by the DOMLocalization
 * instance and monitored for mutations.
 * DOMLocalization also adds methods dedicated to DOM manipulation.
 *
 * Methods:
 *    - connectRoot        - add a root
 *    - disconnectRoot     - remove a root
 *    - pauseObserving     - pause observing of roots
 *    - resumeObserving    - resume observing of roots
 *    - setAttributes      - set l10n attributes of an element
 *    - getAttributes      - retrieve l10n attributes of an element
 *    - translateFragment  - translate a DOM fragment
 *    - translateElements  - translate a list of DOM elements
 *    - translateRoots     - translate all attached roots
 *
