This is stale text.  It should say "[children] property of element
information items".

You can't.  You just get the normalized text as a string.  The
advantages of having text as characters (as in elements) are to allow
other things - entity boundaries for example - to be interspersed
between them, and to allow properties on the characters
(element-content whitespace is the only one we have).  For attributes,
only the entity boundaries are relevant, and we concluded that
normalization of attributes makes it impossible to assign characters
in the normalized value to entities in the original, even though the
DOM tries to do it.
