Text Content in 3W DOM Element

[RC]

If I have a XML file like

<header>
<data>1.0</data>
</header>

In the header element getTextContent() why it return
1.0? Shouldn't it return null?
In the data element getTextContent() should return 1.0, right?

No.

Docs say:

"This attribute returns the text content of this node and its descendants."

It takes all text for element and all elements below it.

The javadoc starts with "This attribute returns the text content of this
node and its descendants.".

Oops, didn't see the other (almost identical) answer.
