I forgot to add...it's actually fairly important that a clone operation
*try* to do so using the DOM + unmarshall sequence because if the object is
signed, the chances of preserving signature integrity are 100% that way vs.
something quite a bit less than 100% with an actual deep copy of only the
objects around the DOM.

So if you were, for example, trying to clone an assertion (which you will if
you're not already), you'd have to do it this way anyway (whether by hand or
calling some method that internally just did the same thing).
