The definition of the "textContent" attribute in the uDOM (when it's supported) is an incomplete copy/paste of the DOM3 Core definition. Furthermore, the additional restrictions placed on it make it not compatible with the DOM3 Core version (for example, an SVG UA that implements DOM3 Core cannot return null for the textContent attribute on any Element (per DOM3 Core), while the uDOM requires it to do just that. Please resolve the inconsistency, preferably by just deferring to the DOM3 textContent property definition completely. I should note that implementing the DOM3 Core version just requires a very straightforward tree traversal and very little code, and that this code will have to be written anyway to support textContent on 'desc', 'title', 'metadata', etc., so I'm not sure why the uDOM is restricting textContent in the first place. -Boris
