Yes, actually, it is crazy = )

That aside, you'd have to pass a node reference, and in order to do that, you 
must have your HTML string converted into DOM nodes somehow. Here's how I'd 
do it:

var container = document.createElement("span");
span.innerHTML = "<span nwType='foo'>...</span>";
widgetObj = NW_INLINE_CTOR_FUNC(span.firstChild);
document.body.appendChild(widgetObj.domNode);

Let me know if that's not clear enough.

Please note that this method is neither blessed nor recommended. Programatic 
constructors are provided for a reason.

Regards.
