When the API was designed, the node was not part of the records. Its only 
since audit-1.6 that it was. I had not considered adding a node check since 
the function was originally there to add comparing two datatypes that are not 
straight forward.

In a consolidated log, they are not equal. I suppose that should be fixed in 
the next release.

Yes.
