Don't remove stroke and fill for clipping paths
Please allow paths to retain formatting when they are made into clipping paths. I see no reason, other than cruelty, to remove the stroke and fill of a path when it is made into a clipping path. If someone can rationalize a benefit for making me have to apply a stroke and fill all over again then at least make a preference for any masochists.

I agree completely! Can Adobe just make this easy? We want to make a mask, we want it to have a color, fill and stroke, we want to be able to select it wherever we click, like anything else in Illustrator.

I fixed this by writing some scripts:
