Keep in mind that extend() does a shallow copy, not a deep copy.
var one = { a:1, b:{ c:2 } };
var two = $.extend( {}, one );
two.a = 11;
two.b.c = 33;
Now the objects look like this:
one = { a:1, b:{ c:33 } }
two = { a:11, b:{ c:33 } }
The "two.b.c = 33;" assignment changed both objects, because they share a
copy of the "b" object.
