/**
 * The <code>Text</code> interface inherits from <code>CharacterData</code> 
 * and represents the textual content (termed <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204#syntax'>character data</a> in XML) of an <code>Element</code> or <code>Attr</code>. If there is no 
 * markup inside an element's content, the text is contained in a single 
 * object implementing the <code>Text</code> interface that is the only 
 * child of the element. If there is markup, it is parsed into the 
 * information items (elements, comments, etc.) and <code>Text</code> nodes 
 * that form the list of children of the element.
 * <p>When a document is first made available via the DOM, there is only one 
 * <code>Text</code> node for each block of text. Users may create adjacent 
 * <code>Text</code> nodes that represent the contents of a given element 
 * without any intervening markup, but should be aware that there is no way 
 * to represent the separations between these nodes in XML or HTML, so they 
 * will not (in general) persist between DOM editing sessions. The 
 * <code>Node.normalize()</code> method merges any such adjacent 
 * <code>Text</code> objects into a single node for each block of text.
 * <p> No lexical check is done on the content of a <code>Text</code> node 
 * and, depending on its position in the document, some characters must be 
 * escaped during serialization using character references; e.g. the 
 * characters "&lt;&amp;" if the textual content is part of an element or of 
 * an attribute, the character sequence "]]&gt;" when part of an element, 
 * the quotation mark character " or the apostrophe character ' when part of 
 * an attribute. 
 * <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-Core-20040407'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification</a>.
