All browsers do that correctly. The case I'm interested in is this one:

s1.appendChild(t1);
document.head.appendChild(s1);
t1.appendData("alert('changed text node data');");
Firefox runs this script and Chrome, Safari and Opera do not. (I don't
have a windows installation, so I haven't tested IE)
In "IE9 standards" mode IE9 displays the alert.
Thanks, Bjoern. That makes it a lot harder for me to argue that the spec
should change to match Chrome, Safari and Opera... But can we at least
change "when child nodes change" to something like "when the text IDL
attribute changes from the empty string to a non-empty string"?

We're not done yet, though. If I comment out the appendData() call in
the code above and replace it with this line:
s1.appendChild(document.createTextNode("alert('then added a new
text node');"));
As above, IE9 displays the alert.
