Or just iterating over the content in general, take the sequence Text, Element,
Text.  If during the interation you do a remove() on Element, what does
previous() and next() return? The Text node before Element, the two Text nodes
merged.  The more I think of it, anymore automatic merging not might not be
such a good idea.
