Details

(Whiteboard: [nsbeta3+]) 

Links (A HREF elements) in NN4 have a property
  text
which reflects the text content of the link e.g.
 <A HREF="http://www.kibo.com"
    ONCLICK="alert(this.text ); 
             return false;"
 >Kibology for all</A>
would return
  Kibology for all
For compatibility reasons I think Mozilla/NN5 should support that property too. 
IE4+ doesn't have it but provides innerText for all elements therefore not 
having the need to provide it.
Needed for 4.x compatibility. The fix is very low risk. Nominating for nsbeta3.

correctness & compatibility with JavaScript 1.0 in use since Nav2. Very
important to be backwardly compatible with this most basic JavaScript, and very
low risk.
