Regarding innerText doing style calc, perhaps you covered this in the talk, but I assume textContent doesn't, right?

innerText returns only visible text and so has to know style.display and determine if eg it's "none". If memory serves, it was a non-standard IE feature originally, and might also do things like consider inline vs block and eg insert a new line. #webperf #perfmatters
