Looking at your tip of tree code, it looks like you guys did something 
similar, but using virtual functions. That seems better, just in case 
any of this code is ever used in a loop.

I'll fix that.

I don't feel too bad about shipping these dynamic_cast calls in Safari 
1.2, since it's very unlikely that the difference in speed will have 
any real effect. It would have to be some strange JavaScript indeed to 
make these calls enough times to make a real speed difference.
