Thanks for the suggestion darrin. The behavior seems pretty strange,
but the fact
that FF3 is switching to this behavior suggests that it may be the
proper implementation according to the spec.
In any case I have been able to work around the problem by inserting
an empty string ("") during DOM-Node
creation, e.g:
Builder.node('button', "");
Using input also works. Thanks :)
