We still want to have "nodeType", because the data-classes were modeled
on the W3C-DOM specification:
"http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-Core-20040407/core.html#ID-1950641247";.
If LPP-5840 was implemented, or if we were able to code js2
getters/setters, there wouldn't be any problems for AS3...
The as3 XML dom nodes have a node.nodeKind() method, which gets the type string.
