I'd say this a little differently - an Element has Text nodes, not String
nodes. But we will keep the convenience methods that can return the
Element's value as a String, concatenating all the characters from all its
Text nodes together. So get*Text*() and setText() stay, but
addContent(String) and removeContent(String) are replaced by Text versions.
