I don't know all the history here, but this bug and proto-spec seems relevant: - https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13145 - https://web.archive.org/web/20121127212525/http://aryeh.name/spec/innertext/innertext.html The work already done on this might make including innerText-dependent features more feasible.
