Tim,
no need to worry!

It is working perfectly fine, and the method getChildValue in
OpenLayers.Format.XML is just a convenience function that is also
working perfectly fine.

The original concern was that OpenLayers.Format.XML.getChildValue,
unlike OpenLayers.Util.getXmlNodeValue, does not fall back to
node.textContent, which is what I needed in some cases. Chris pointed
out that OpenLayers.Util.getXmlNodeValue should not be used, because
it allows XML documents that are too sloppy.
So I got rid of OpenLayers.Util.getXmlNodeValue in the sld parser, and
now I use OpenLayers.Format.XML.getChildValue and node.text ||
node.textContent instead, depending on what I want to get out of the
XML document. It works perfect, also in Safari.
The other discussion was whether we need a getTextContent function,
but the statement
"node.text || node.textContent" is simple enough to not need one.
Regards,
Andreas.
