Description Travis Leithead [MSFT] 2011-02-24 16:13:44 UTC
In the algorithm for Safe Passing of Structured Data (2.8.5), the spec has the following lines: 

↪If input is an Object object
Let output be a newly constructed empty Object object.

In the second line, the reference to "Object" is a hyperlink that targets the HTMLObjectElement. My guess is that this is just a mistake and does not imply that HTMLObjectElements should be cloneable via this algorithm.

Please clarify this point if indeed HTMLObjectElements should be cloneable, or remove the hyperlink otherwise.

Thanks.
