In Firefox/Linux,
1: This is the sentence
2: This is the sentence<span>, in full</span>.
3: undefined
which is what I'd expect. (I'll let someone else try IE!)

Uh, yeah, which is why I cited the OP's example:
<td id='row_0_col_0'>value here</td>
:: where there's clearly only a single child element. And since the
OP was also talking about doing something mathematical with the value
of the cell, it would be unlikely to have embedded markup...
If I were uncertain of the content of that cell, no, I wouldn't just
assume that firstChild == lastChild :-)
