textContent used to be a member of Element, but it seems that it has changed
since DOM3.

No, it did not:

<http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Core-20001113/core.html#ID-745549614>

The “textContent” attribute was only introduced with DOM Level 3 Core,
and it was introduced there on the Node interface:

,-<http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#ID-1950641247>
| 
| […]
| 
| interface Node {
|   […]
|   // Introduced in DOM Level 3:
|       attribute DOMString       textContent;
| […]

That has not changed:

,-<http://www.w3.org/TR/2015/REC-dom-20151119/#node>
| 
| interface Node : EventTarget {
|   […]
|          attribute DOMString? textContent;
| […]
