[0.8] Polymer.dom() should expose innerHTML and textContent

[JanMiksovsky]

Now that we have to use the Polymer.dom() to cover both Shadow and Shady DOM, we're finding it hard to programmatically get and set element content. We'd like to be able to get and set both Polymer.dom(element).innerHTML and Polymer.dom(element).textContent. From what I can tell, neither of those are defined by the result of Polymer.dom().

While we can try to roll our own Shadow/Shady implementations of innerHTML and textContent by looking at Polymer.dom()'s .children or .childNodes properties, it seems much better to share reliable, platform-supported helpers for that.

innerHTML and textContent are really missing. We made some custom code which should lead to the same result - but we're not sure if it's the best/fastest approach. So we would appreciate an official solution as well.

I believe these are on the way. @sorvell knows more.

Yup, these should be coming soon.
