Hey, I'd love to have a go at this.

I shall dig into the source tonight and see what I can come up with.  Pointers are obviously appreciated.

Actually, it seems the current version of the spec says:

"Invoking the cloneNode() method on a ShadowRoot instance must always throw a DATA_CLONE_ERR exception.". [1]

Maybe I'll wait for the spec to settle a little, but I'll have a go at implementing what the spec currently says as a familiarity exercise.

If this has been obsoleted should its status be changed from NEW?

Since this has already been addressed in bug 1176757, closing as a duplicate of that bug.
