But, as I said, it is incorrect to call the proprietary “innerHTML” property 
“the practical choice”; that is the result of short-sighted reasoning as the 
OP explicitly wanted to change the *text content* of the element.  Compare 
the result of

  el.textContent = "<strong>foo &amp; bar</strong>";

with that of

  el.innerHTML = "<strong>foo &amp; bar</strong>";
