Objects

Texts in the .text and .title attributes are created as objects by the IDM and are given an internal ID.
Strings (e.g. in the attribute .content) are only created as a character string.
Text objects can be provided with multilingual variants and, despite multiple uses, only consume memory once.
Strings do not require an ID, but cannot have variants and consume memory per string.

Starting with version A.06.01.a, strings that occur multiple times are stored internally to save memory.

On the one hand, to make it clear that there are strings that support multilingualism and use IDs as objects (.text, .title). On the other hand, to clarify that strings have a rather dynamic background (.content).

Notice:
.content[] is not inherited by models or defaults!
