Remarks
N.B. #1. If the lastChild is not-specifically-HTML, it may have .data rather than .innerText or .innerHTML.
e.g. <DL><DT>firstChild.innerText</DT>lastChild.data</DL>
N.B. #2. In this property, its .data can be unstably fragmented, (It is probably a clipBoard subprocess).
e.g. mixed-mode entry, e.g. keyboard and script-assisted, can sub-break the .data where no BREAKs exist....
