The question is really whether we want an attribute that, when it serialises the DOM, serialises things like <img alt=""> to the element's alt text, serialises things like dir="" to embed the requisite bidi formatting characters, etc. (Obviously we can't redefine textContent itself, and innerText is subtly different as well.) -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
