So sorry to beat this dead horse, but I just want to weigh in my thoughts on
this before it gets shot down. I agree that $ should only be a light
wrapper around getElementById, but unfortunately getElementById is broken
across browsers. I'm surprised to hear that you think the fix is heavy. In
my eyes it is a lightweight fix to save some major headaches for those who
don't have control over the HTML source.
My vote is for #2!
