I created a custom node type and am trying to observe events on nodes of this

                 null,
                 new String[]{"gr:leaf"},
                 false);

The custom type "gr:leaf" is defined as follows (copied from nt:unstructured).

     // The namespace declaration
     <gr = 'http://www.xyz.com'>

     [gr:leaf]>  nt:base orderable
       - * (undefined) multiple COPY
       - * (undefined) COPY
       + * (nt:base) = gr:leaf multiple VERSION

I get no events!

When I omit the restriction on node-type, in addEventListener, I do see events.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Do you realize that the node type filter apply to the *parent* node of 
the node the event is for?
