The blue book doesn't say they have to be different. I no longer have  
the
old photocopied documentation from before the blue book. I think some  
other
calls allow the result and inputs to be the same, maybe I'm wrong.

I wondered about that too but in my version I opted for minimum change
as we are a few weeks from issuing the new version of Interiors which we
demoed at MacWorld earlier this month.

It seemed to me that section just copied stuff onto itself when child  
== result.
As we don't have any operator= to worry about I think it would be  
safe to
assume that it does what it says without anything happening in the  
background.

Yes, you are right, the whole section can be bypassed under this  
condition.
