From a different challenge involving time-sensitive text, I came up with this little goodie.

Code:

function clearNode (node) {
    node.normalize();
    while (node.childNodes.length > 0) {
        node.removeChild(node.firstChild);
    }
    return node;
}

I'd like to make this a method of the Node prototype, but I haven't figured out *quite* how to do it yet. Comments? Improvements?
