Given I just spent some time writing a function that walks through the DOM to find loose text nodes which I would like to hide but cannot remove from the DOM nor target via CSS (ie: save their nodeValue in an expando and basically set their nodeValue to an empty string, or vice-versa), I believe in my use case sufficiently.

It's not the first time this issue comes on the table, but it seems nobody ever proposed a solution to it, which is I believe the only way to hope for a fix to land at some point.

However, I agree that in the read-more case you usually have <p> wrappers, at least in the case of a blog.
