A DeferredTextImpl is a text node, not any kind of Element. This could happen if -- the document structure had changed and the code hadn't kept up -- more likely, the treatment of white space is different, so a text node is now appearing (and didn't on the other machines) between elements, e.g. the x and y children of z in <z><x/><y/></z>. This would happen if the document weren't normalized and was not validated against a DTD or Schema.
