[AS CS3] getting the xml value?

Question

I'm having trouble returning the "Value" of my xml object. I can get all sorts of other attributes. I need to be able to return the value "123456". I must be missing something, or is this a real shortcoming?
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
tell document 1
get associated XML element of first page item
--> XML element id 12 of XML element id 2 of document "Untitled-8"
get XML attribute 1 of associated XML element of first page item
--> XML attribute "TCnumber" of XML element id 12 of XML element id 2 of document "Untitled-8"
get properties of (get XML attribute 1 of associated XML element of first page item)
--> {value:"123456", parent:XML element id 12 of XML element id 2 of document "Untitled-8", index:1, name:"TCnumber", object reference:XML attribute "TCnumber" of XML element id 12 of XML element id 2 of document "Untitled-8"}
get name of (get XML attribute 1 of associated XML element of first page item)
-->TCnumber
get index of (get XML attribute 1 of associated XML element of first page item)
-->1
get value of (get XML attribute 1 of associated XML element of first page item)
--ERROR
end tell
end tell

That's a nice one.
The "get value" event takes precedence, it is probably understood by ScriptArg.
For insiders: kGetValueScriptArgEventScriptElement
You can use round brackets to disambiguate:
get (value of ...)
