Description
https://wicg.github.io/element-timing/#sec-report-text step 2.1 says:
the border box of text
where text is a Text node. In CSS elements can have border boxes but text cannot. See https://www.w3.org/TR/css-display-3/#intro which defines boxes (for elements and pseudo-elements, plus anonymous boxes) and https://drafts.csswg.org/css-box-3/#border-box which defines a "border box", but only for boxes, not text runs.

Research direction
Read the report-text section of the Element Timing specification, especially step 2.1, then compare its use of “border box” with the linked CSS Display and CSS Box specifications. The work is done when the specification’s treatment of a Text node and border-box terminology is technically consistent and the affected wording is unambiguous.
