Yes, the intent is that in the the events from nodes, distributed to
insertion points should feel as if there wasn't any shadow tree around them:

Sure, https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=20248. I can't
remember now why I left it out, but I'll find out.

Whoa, good catch. https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=20249
We do indeed cache/reset this value when retargeting in WebKit, but this
still needs to be specified.

For shadow DOM, we definitely don't need cloning. But it seems critical for
seamless iframes. Looking forward, when we do add "isolated" to shadow
trees, the shadow DOM will use this plumbing too.
