Well, even if a node has subnodes, it still may have a value. 
hdf_obj_get() would be the function in question.
Therefore, if the source node i'm copying from has a value, it could be
copied as well.
But i agree with Brandon, its a design decision, once done, it shouldn't
be changed lightly, as it might break existing applications.
