I think it'd be cool if the clone showed the image. But, I'm pretty sure  
cloneNode(true) is just supposed to create a new canvas element with the  
same attributes and childNodes as the original. It's not supposed to copy  
everything that's going on with the element being copied.

There are some exceptions with state for certain elements. Perhaps that  
can happen with canvas too.
