In the interests of full disclosure, all "Copy XML" does is effectively 
create a range containing that one node and then invoke the normal "copy 
the selection to the clipboard" command.  And all that does is take the 
DOM Range and serialize it to a string.  All the fixup has already 
happened long before this, in the parser.
