Yeah but check this: if you use cloneNode(true) to copy a node from an <object>-embedded HTML document, what you get back is not a node at all - it's a document fragment with your node as its first child. Since it's in a document fragment you can't append it using appendNode, or move it with insertAdjacentElement or insertBefore - you have to copy it with outerHTML.

Stupid browser..
