The parameter is defined 'as variant' so what gets passed is the node
reference. I can't see the control determining that it has the reference
and so getting the key to look up the reference again but I guess stranger
things have happened. Unless it can be demonstrated otherwise I'd hold that
passing the reference is the better option.
