We added the following in the Events draft:
	      Copying a Node does not copy the event listeners attached
	      to it. Event listeners must be attached to the newly
	      created node afterwards if so desired. Therefore, when
	      Nodes are copied using Node.cloneNode or
	      Range.cloneContents, the EventListeners attached to them
	      are not automatically attached to their copies.

We added the following in the Events draft:
	      Moving a Node does not affect the event listeners attached
	      to it.  Therefore, when Nodes are moved using
	      Document.adoptNode, Node.appendChild, or
	      Range.extractContents, the EventListeners attached to the
	      moved Nodes stay attached to them.

This should address those issues.
