public cloneNode(deep:Boolean) : XMLNode
Constructs and returns a new XML node of the same type, name, value, and attributes as the
specified XML object. If deep is set to true, all child nodes are recursively cloned, resulting in
an exact copy of the original object's document tree.
The clone of the node that is returned is no longer associated with the tree of the cloned item.
Consequently, nextSibling, parentNode, and previousSibling all have a value of null. If
the deep parameter is set to false, or the my_xml node has no child nodes, firstChild and
lastChild are also null.

Parameters
deep:Boolean - A Boolean value; if set to true, the children of the specified XML object will
be recursively cloned.
Returns
XMLNode - An XMLNode Object.
Example
The following example shows how to use the XML.cloneNode() method to create a copy of a
node:
