The current model is on DOM Level 1 API compliant, it doesn't implement 
all of DOM Level 2 and none of DOM Level 3.   DOM Level 3 implements the 
getTextContent().    You can use getNodeValue() or another DOM Level 1 
api to get the information.

If you need DOM Level 2 and Level 3 support, I would suggest opening a 
bug report to ask for it.

In the meantime, you can make an equivalant function by following the 
example at the end of this article:
