Put simply, it does not work where it is required, and it is error-prone 
overkill where it is not required.  Also, people could get the wrong idea of 
using the “innerHTML” property to replace or rewrite content, leaving parts 
of documents or whole documents unindexable while causing a user-unfriendly 
flash of content.
