public interface ElementFactory
```
Defines an element factory for constructing new elements. An application document may elect to use this factory to create user elements derived from the class ElementImpl.
The createElement(org.w3c.dom.Document, java.lang.String, java.lang.String) will be called to create any element and may behave in one of three manners:
- Create and return a new element from a class that extends ElementImpl
- Return null and a standard element will be created
- Throw an exception to indicate that elements of this type are not supported in this document (this behavior is highly discouraged)
