If you call cloneNode on a media element, the state of the resulting

Similar questions arise when you clone form elements; is the state that's
not visible in the DOM cloned?
Who should be responsible for defining this?

In my opinion, expecting the cloned MediaElement to retain all of its
state is more work to implement and not really worth it. I don't know
where it should be defined, but think the best behavior would be to just
clone the content attributes. In other words, you'd get a media element in
state NETWORK_EMPTY/HAVE_NOTHING which would start resource selection when
you insert it into a document.
