TEXT : Not a very good mnemonic
FONT :
Far too specific, in my opinion. Font selection is only one use for
a generic element.
C : Far too cryptic, in my opinion.
ELEMENT : Even worse than TEXT. *Every* container and every
character-level tag is a "text element."
STRING : I'm biased, aren't I? I like this one, except it's just as bad as
TEXT.
If it were left up to me, I'd pick TEXT or STRING, although the TEXT
element has (perhaps undesirable) SGML connotations, and STRING takes too
long to type. Perhaps a three letter code, like TXT, STR, ELE, or even EL
would be better?
