That would be great, I can see both use cases. I also see that
different people seem to expect different things. It would be great to
have the implementation support both ways.
BTW I like the idea of a :self pseudoclass a lot.
For example, I often need to select the child (not descendant)
elements of a given element that satisfy a given selector.
With :self I could do:
$(x).select(':self > .mixedcontent').each(...);
Right now this is the shortest I came up with, and it's not as concise
as I'm used to with Prototype:
$(x).childElements().findAll(function (e) {return
e.match('.mixedcontent')}).each(...);
:self provides the explicit link between selector evaluation and
context node that I find so surprising as default behavior.
As an aside, getElementsBySelector()'s *documentation* describes what
I'd want in the example above, it says the method selects "extended
children", but in fact it too seems to select descendants, not children.
