Raio was an example. I know its just an input element which is why i was
asking. Something like
$$("input[type=radio]").implement({
style : function () {}
});
Is what i was hoping to be able to do

Well, specifically targeting radios this way will never be possible, because
they are just an HTMLInputElement with a specific `type` value (there is no
HTMLRadioElement). So there's that.
Even when browsers allow you to extend the subinterfaces of HTMLElement, you
are still restricted to the standard subinterfaces. So you can't extend radios
or checkboxes separately, and you shouldn't even expect to extend <EM> and
<STRONG> or even <SPAN> tags individually, since per the DOM specs, all these
hang directly off the generic HTMLElement.
In sum, even in cutting-edge browsers, you may have to check the current
element's tag and/or type before continuing, so for simplicity you might as
well extend the whole Element. I'd guess that with a _extremely_ high ratio of
uninteresting elements to your "interesting" elements, you might actually see
that extending, say, just HTMLInputElement would be faster at runtime, but it's
unlikely to be worth it.
