The RHS negation of (&&) was incorrect; fixed.

It's safe to change the order of AX notification and setInnerText() because AX
notification is asynchronous.

[sof, 2015/09/25 09:34:05]

It makes sense to have this notification post update even if? Moved it down a
bit.

     }

+    // requiring less allocations. Generally helpful, but avoids dead object
+    // buildup with Oilpan on benchmarks pounding this update operation.
