+ * <code>EventListener</code> from its <code>EventTarget</code> after they
+ * have completed using the listener.
+ * <p> When a <code>Node</code> is copied using the <code>cloneNode</code>
+ * method the <code>EventListener</code>s attached to the source
+ * <code>Node</code> are not attached to the copied <code>Node</code>. If
+ * the user wishes the same <code>EventListener</code>s to be added to the
+ * newly created copy the user must add them manually.
