Or just let to choose..

If you want to clone events, you need to check every element and his
child node searching for events and then assign every. I think this is
a bit to slow :)
Let developer to choose do it or not (not by default).
And he can choose to do it manually, with event.clone function.

Classes are also not carried across to the cloned object.

I kind of agree, but:
I experienced in my latest project that when cloning an element after
some events were attached it totally broke IE (crashed). Knowing that
events aren't cloned anyway I assumed that it doesn't matter when to
clone the node.
That bug may be due to the context were it occured, but one never knows...
So I ended up in creating the node, cloning it and than attached the events.
I couldn't find out what is happening in IE, but it seems it does
something with events when cloning. Does anyone know more about this?

And in addition to that - if I got that right - attaching events before
DOM insertion is a memory leak pattern in IE but that case would most
likely occur.
"The key points to understand about the leak are that DOM elements are
being created with scripts already attached."
