Damn, just killed an hour of work time "to solve the puzzle" : )
Hash sounds good, but would fail when given nodes with non-unique text
values (since JS doesn't natively support non-string object keys). It
seems like IE's textNode's throw error for any property assignment
except when property is named `nodeValue` or `data`. It is,
unfortunately, impossible to use those properties since their change
is immediately reflected in the document (i.e. changing node's text).
I would suggest to leave text nodes along for maximum compatibility/
reliability, but if you must here's a workaround:
var t = document.createTextNode('boo');
t.nodeValue.toString.toString = function() {
alert('Muahaha!');
};
t.nodeValue.toString.toString();
