I'm not surprised, but it's complicated to explain why. ;P Actually it just
"feels" like that should be the case to me... It's like using
document.getElementById() in javascript vs. using eval("myobjectid") -- in
many browsers the latter works and in some older browsers that don't support
the DOM standard getElementById function you have to resort to that, but
it's faster/better/safer to use the DOM function for any recent target
browser that supports DOM.

Yea, that's what I suspected, thanks for the confirmation. :)
