     * be completely independent of the source object's subtree, so changes
     * in one after the clone has been made will not affect the other.

     * Note: since we never have any children deep is meaningless here,
     * ParentNode overrides this behavior.

     * <p>
     * Example: Cloning a Text node will copy both the node and the text it
     * contains.
     * <p>
     * Example: Cloning something that has children -- Element or Attr, for
     * example -- will _not_ clone those children unless a "deep clone"
     * has been requested. A shallow clone of an Attr node will yield an
     * empty Attr of the same name.
     * <p>
     * NOTE: Clones will always be read/write, even if the node being cloned
     * is read-only, to permit applications using only the DOM API to obtain
     * editable copies of locked portions of the tree.
