Yeah, that wouldn't really work very easily, especially since the old object is 
still around.

It's maybe _possible_ to do that, but it's not easy at all in Gecko, and I doubt 
it's easy in other UAs.

Of course if we implemented reinitialize() internally, there would be no cloning 
involved, I would think.
