+/**
+ * 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
+ *
