Thank you! That function is educational. I'll play more with that idea. It
will be a lot more verbose than the 3 line solution I have right now.. but
I am intrigued enough to still try that out to see how it turns out.
I fail to see how it could be generally useful.

formatting properties, like in my case where the element title is needed to
be extracted without any formatting.

I haven't yet invested any time into serious development of this "base
class" backend. The idea of this exporter is to give formatting-free output
(like when you select plain text option in an email client).. so at whim,
entities will be translated to the correct unicode chars, footnotes
behavior could be the same as ox-ascii, and latex-snippets can stay in the
raw ascii form.
If there is an interest to move this forward, I can come up with a "raw"
backend spec, and we can discuss on the details.
