Yeah. I didn't mean to imply that my code was a serious use-case. Its
just where I tripped myself up, thinking I could create a jQuery object
that held "html" text that didn't happen to have any angle brackets in
it :-). It was kind of surprising to realize that I needed to call
createTextNode explicitly in that case. And so I proposed this syntax
as a cool shortcut for createTextNode()

That's pretty cool. I think I would have assumed that elements had to
be inserted before doing other things with them.

So I guess you're saying that there shouldn't be a need to work with
text nodes, so no shortcut is necessary. Fair enough.
