Ihr, I believe the discussion of the specific topic of "text()" has dominated a conversation that---on its face---purports to be of a general sort. Could you please give some examples unrelated to "text()" that illustrate design problems of the type you are describing? -- "A false conclusion, once arrived at and widely accepted is not dislodged easily, and the less it is understood, the more tenaciously it is held." - Cantor's Law of Preservation of Ignorance.
