Without confirming with the XPath 2.0 spec (but I'll check!) I would
agree that even if the XDM nodes are typed, an explicit cast on the
node should still produce the same result. But this bug is of much
lesser severity, than the bug which has been solved upto now -- I say
this, because I don't see a point in doing explicit casts on nodes
which are already typed. But we should still try to solve this bug as
well :)

As a side note, an explicit cast on node which is already typed may be
useful in cases where, the type to which a cast is attempted is
related to the type of the node via inheritance (again we would need
to check the spec, what is the expected behavior in this case).
