If you wanted to do it right, you'd want to do something like this:
jQuery.fn.childNodes = function() {
return this.pushStack( jQuery.map( this,
"jQuery.makeArray(a.childNodes)" ) );
};
HUGE WARNING! (this is why we don't include this method in jQuery
right now) jQuery does not expect itself to handle non-elements. For
example, if were to do:
$("body").childNodes().css("color", "blue");
It would die with an exception, because you can't set a color on a text node.
In fact, there's already a bug open for this specific feature requeset:

So we have a situation where we need to clone all of an elements childNodes

includes the childNodes.

$.fn.childNodes = function() {
return this.pushStack( this.get(0).childNodes || [] );
};
