Description

XMLElement should provide a method to retrieve its text content.

Currently XMLElement provides methods for retrieving child Elements and attributes. When we have text content inside the XMLElement, there is no way to retrieve it. DocumentationElement is a good example for this, where we add human readable text content.

Because of this deficiency we can't serialize Documentation Element. Wsdl4j facilitates this with the use of org.w3c.dom.Element Interface.
