Yes, I see no reason not allow text nodes to be replaced or deleted.

More generally, the micro-components give me a bit of an uneasy
feeling. Especially those that perform some "InfoSet CRUD operation".
They seem to duplicate work that has been already done before.
Consider for instance the XQuery Update Facility [1] or XForms actions
like <xforms:delete> and <xforms:insert> [2].

I am more familiar with the latter,  and can say that a lot of
thinking has been going into those operations. I am afraid that not
only we are duplicating what has already been done by other working
groups, but that we lack the time to do this as thoroughly as other
working groups did.
