The easiest method is to return content.document.body.textContent but 
that will also return the contents of <script> and <style> elements, 
which may not by what you want.

Another approach is to use a Range object:
var range = content.document.createRange();
range.selectNodeContents(content.document.body);
return range.toString();

You get a slightly different result if you use the Selection object:
content.getSelection().selectAllChildren(content.document.body);
return content.getSelection().toString();

After that you have to start looking at XPCOM serialiser objects.
