The #text trait is what is defined in JSR-226, and textContent is the field inherited from DOM 3 Core — we have resolved to support both as we wish to be compatible with both. If you are using the uDOM and don't intend to be compatible with JSR-226 (either because you're already using features not present there, or because you're not using Java), then the recommended one is textContent. In all other situations, #text is best. -- Robin Berjon Research Scientist Expway, http://expway.com/
