Presently, calling `<text>/format` replaces the contents of the text
element. It occurs to me that most of the time when you are calling
`format` you mean to append more text, not to replace it.
I propose that we change `<text>/format` to append, and that if you
want to replace the text you call `<text>/clearText` or `<text>/
setAttribute('text' "")` first.
If this is not an acceptable change, an alternative would be to create
a new API `<text>/formatAppend` that would append, but it seems a
shame to have such a long name for what is likely the more common
operation.
