it worked even on pressing the debug button? 
if so, thats just plain wierd as your platform
ain't crashing with blatently wrong code :)

but then it just looks stupidly wierd :)
thats me most commonly mispelt word
and so 'as it always been, since the
days when i was but a wee ickle boy,
and hopefully till the day comes that
i turn all grown up and stuff :)

the cast_to_object is pretty much certain correct
it just turned out that the lack of ability to lookup
constants really is a major problem as i managed
to copy the wrong value for TEXT_NODE :)

so, the fault was in the usage case. please see my 
cc:'ed commit log from a few hours back :)

(well, unless you already have and i just haven't
got to the email in my inbox yet ... :))

cheers,
Alex
