IMHO text in "display:none" and "visibility:hidden" should not be copied to 
clipboard.
Users expects to copy only the things he has on rendered page.
It can be slightly different though for "copy and paste" of a whole page 
(like, you copied everything on a page in MS IE 5.x and pasted it to Word 
2000 - it usually works ok, but AFAIK Word2000 does some HTML re-formatting 
for pasted HTML). But I think for this case browser vendors should reserve 
special "paste original HTML" action in browser's menu.
