>>Each HTML element has specific explicit attributes, but I think that text has attributes only implicitly. For example: FONT has attributes like FACE, SIZE, etc.. but the text between begin- and end-font tage has no explicit attributes. That is, text items are leaves on a tree of HTML elements. You can traverse back up the DOM (parentelement to parentelement) to iterate through elements like FONT, STRONG, etc, and figure out what you should be looking like as rendered text, but there are no explicit attributes of the text to query for that purpose(so far as i know).
