Anne, I don't care about the technical solution at this time. I am just
dealing with the requirements: copy/paste must preserve editability if
needed, w/o having to resolve, factorize and rewrite selectors or XPath
between two document instances (do s/editability/presentation and you
have the best argument for the existence of the style attibute).

In other words, using a steamroller to kill an ant is not a good solution.
