Re: [whatwg/dom] Define cloning steps for an select element (#644)

I disagree with your statements. There's a lot of internal state that is not copied over by `cloneNode()`, e.g., `<canvas>`'s bitmap, `<a>`'s URL, and `<input type=file>`'s files.

I strongly suspect it's copied over for `input` and `textarea` due to implementation bugs that were copied over by other browsers.

And yes, backwards compatibility is very important. I encourage you to read https://www.w3.org/TR/html-design-principles/.
