Description Ms2ger 2012-07-08 17:11:13 UTC 
Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(Node.prototype, "nodeValue").set.call(node/*, no arguments */)

The spec treats the argument as undefined, and Gecko's new DOM bindings follow the spec. If I'm not mistaken, IE10 throws an exception. I slightly prefer throwing for consistency with operations.

Yeah, I can buy that.
