Description Elliott Sprehn 2012-12-22 02:23:56 UTC 
http://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#childnode

[[
Element implements ChildNode;
]]

Text should also implement ChildNode;

There's no reason you shouldn't be able to do nextElementSibling from a Text node, or do .before(...) on a Text node.
Comment 1 Elliott Sprehn 2012-12-22 02:24:42 UTC 
In truth, we should probably have this for every node type. For example nextElementSibling should work on Comment nodes too.
Comment 2 Anne 2012-12-22 09:35:26 UTC 
That's why CharacterData implements this interface too.
