Description Dimitri Glazkov 2012-01-10 18:24:33 UTC 
As currently specified (http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcomponents/rev/769c949cd10c), you can't call cloneNode() on a ShadowRoot instance -- because you can't create a ShadowRoot instance without associating it with a host, and cloning ShadowRoot with associated host will produce nonsensical results.

We should see if there's actually a need for a working cloneNode() method for ShadowRoot instances.

Nobody asked for this in a while. Closing.
