I added a detailed explanation of the original problem along with the
original source code here:
http://gist.github.com/269990#file_microsoft_ajax_web_forms.debug.js
There are essentially two issues.
1) Microsoft's client-side code is not written to be very defensive.
They use essentially `if (elementOrDocument.id)
elementOrDocument.id.stringMethod();` instead of `if (typeof
elementOrDocument.id == "string")
elementOrDocument.id.stringMethod();` or something like that.
2) MooTools creates an `id` method on the global document object
instead of on a unique namespace.
