Hi all,
I wonder why a element should have .text which
is basically just the same thing as
.textContent.
I'd prefer removing .text.
It's actually worse, see

Yes, I'd strongly prefer to remove that too. I say lets remove it from
gecko and see if it breaks any sites.

I was referring to html5 draft, which specifies that .text
should be the same as .textContent.
But sure, the reason why gecko has .text is backwards compatibility
with Netscape 4. Netscape 4 .text isn't the same as .textContent.
