I do not think you have to create a copy, but there is no reason that 
it would not work.  Well behaved code should probably not be changing 
the objects passed to it in a property change notification, so I do not 
think it is really necessary in most cases.  Depending on how many such 
events are generated, it could become a performance issue if you copy 
the object.
