Just to be clear, given my later confusion, in the "good case" where it
is a SwTxtNode there is no change, while if it was somehow a underived
SwCntntNode there would be a desirable change in behaviour.

const sal_uInt8 ND_CONTENTNODE  = 0x38;
const sal_uInt8 ND_TEXTNODE     = 0x08;

inline sal_Bool SwNode::IsTxtNode() const
{
    return ND_TEXTNODE == nNodeType  ? sal_True : sal_False;
}

nNdTyp = ND_CONTENTNODE; //evil

- if( ND_TEXTNODE & nNdTyp )
^^^ would be 8, i.e. true
+ if( rNd.IsTxtNode() )
^^^ would be false

nNdTyp = ND_TEXTNODE; //good

- if( ND_TEXTNODE & nNdTyp )
^^^ would be 8, i.e. true
+ if( rNd.IsTxtNode() )
^^^ would be true

*slap forehead*, sigh, indeed. SwTxtNodes are SwCntntNodes alright wrt 
ND_CONTENTNODE & ND_TEXTNODE.

Ah well, its probably worth munging in the derivation of the bits as |
of the super-class bits anyway so its a little more clear. Should ditch
this in favour of real rtti if there's no gotchass.
