> OK. I'll update Blink.

There should be no need to change anything in Blink.

This testcase:

<body><script>
  alert(document.body.cloneNode(undefined).childNodes.length);
  alert(document.body.cloneNode().childNodes.length);
</script>

already alerts "0" and then "2" in my Chrome dev build (32.0.1671.3), which is
what the DOM spec _used_ to require before the WebIDL changes to how undefined
is handled, and is also what the DOM spec should imo specify once this bug is
fixed.

Anne, your changes aren't what this bug was asking for.  What this bug is
asking for is:

  Node cloneNode();  // deep clone specified in prose
  Node cloneNode(boolean deep);

and similar for importNode.

Reopening, since as far as I can tell the intent of the desired change was
totally misunderstood.
