Beautiful program, I must say... 

However, I am having some difficulty in trying, through a 
script, to clone all tagged elements as a unit. Scenario goes as 
so:

1. Layout the page, tagging the page items as appropriate. 
2. Logically reorganize the structure in the XML gui.

The aim is to use one group of items as a 'template', cloning it 
for each new listing. The issue comes into play as the structure 
is lost after the clone, undoing the handwork. Not a major 
problem, at first I thought, scripting usually takes care of 
those kinds of niches. After banging my head up against some 
restrictions in the object model I'm asking for directions here. 
Collections are read only in most cases, accepting only untagged 
items to insert as an element, while the clone creates the 
XMLElement I would like to insert as a child, complete with 
tagged text placeholders. This makes it effectively impossible 
to copy the structure.

Those are the general details of what I have been trying to 
accomplish, but all I am really interested is a recursive type 
clone. I hope I am missing something obvious and I'd appreciate 
any light you could lend here.
