The default browser behavior when setting `.textContent` to `null` or `undefined` is to ultimately set the content to `''`†. This is quite different from the behavior of `createTextNode` though… by splitting the text node creation into multiple steps we can consistently leverage `.textContent` and remove the need to `?? ''`. † Note that the WHATWG spec only defines that behavior for `null`, but in practice all modern browsers seem to treat `undefined` similarly.

Note that this passed before, we’re just specifically testing it now.

This was the only place we really needed to coalesce. If you pass null or undefined here you get 'null' or 'undefined'.

FYI @klebba — Hopefully this one is pretty easy to review. Shouldn’t be too controversial. |

@klebba — Gonna get this in to unblock myself on some other work. |
