/**
 * <p>
 * Provides browser history management using the HTML5 history API.
 * </p>
 *
 * <p>
 * When calling the <code>add()</code>, <code>addValue()</code>,
 * <code>replace()</code>, or <code>replaceValue()</code> methods on
 * <code>HistoryHTML5</code>, the following additional options are supported:
 * </p>
 *
 * <dl>
 *   <dt><strong>title (String)</strong></dt>
 *   <dd>
 *     Title to use for the new history entry. Browsers will typically display
 *     this title to the user in the detailed history window or in a dropdown
 *     menu attached to the back/forward buttons. If not specified, the title
 *     of the current document will be used.
 *   </dd>
 *
 *   <dt><strong>url (String)</strong></dt>
 *   <dd>
 *     URL to display to the user for the new history entry. This URL will be
 *     visible in the browser's address bar and will be the bookmarked URL if
 *     the user bookmarks the page. It may be a relative path ("foo/bar"), an
 *     absolute path ("/foo/bar"), or a full URL ("http://example.com/foo/bar").
 *     If you specify a full URL, the origin <i>must</i> be the same as the 
 *     origin of the current page, or an error will occur. If no URL is
 *     specified, the current URL will not be changed.
 *   </dd>
 * </dl>
 *
 * @class HistoryHTML5
 * @extends HistoryBase
 * @constructor
 * @param {Object} config (optional) Configuration object. The following
 *   <code>HistoryHTML5</code>-specific properties are supported in addition to
 *   those supported by <code>HistoryBase</code>:
 *
 * <dl>
 *   <dt><strong>enableSessionFallback (Boolean)</strong></dt>
 *   <dd>
 *     <p>
 *     Set this to <code>true</code> to store the most recent history state in
 *     sessionStorage in order to seamlessly restore the previous state (if any)
 *     when <code>HistoryHTML5</code> is instantiated after a
 *     <code>window.onpopstate</code> event has already fired.
 *     </p>
 *
 *     <p>
 *     By default, this setting is <code>false</code>.
 *     </p>
 *   </dd>
 * </dl>
