Node#getHTML() should work on document fragments about yui3 HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @rgrove,

This would be a really nice addition, especially seeing as how YUI already allows us to successfully call Node#setHTML() on a fragment. I thought about your technique for a bit, and realized there is one flaw in it.

If you append a document fragment anywhere, all the elements contained in the fragment will be removed. This is certainly undesirable side effect if all we're trying to do is get the innerHTML. We may have wanted to do something with those elements later on.

I came up with another solution, which avoids the side effect by deep cloning the fragment. It may be a bit expensive, but I don't think it will cause any noticeable slow downs that are troubling, since fetching the innerHTML of an element is only a small part of any application.

Here's a jsfiddle describing the aforementioned: http://jsfiddle.net/EM7hY/1/

I will submit a pull request with my proposed changes and reference this issue.
