Having DOM state that's not reflected in the serialized DOM (or copied by cloneNode()) is not good, but it's not new either. Form elements, canvases, and media elements already have similar issues. Rob -- “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. ...
