Thanks, the "aha!" light just went on. It makes total sense now...I didn't know you could call a constructor without parens. It also makes sense that (function(){...})() might be a little more efficient since it's not creating an anonymous object in addition to the function itself, but I imagine that's pretty neglegable and that if you find the code more readable the other way, that's probably an acceptable trade-off.
Thanks to all who replied, it really cleared things up!
