getElementBySelector/getElementsBySelector is the only proposal we

But it's not accurate. This also creates the problem Ian Hickson pointed
out a few times. That people will map it to $$ or something which makes
it even less useful.
People will do that anyway for obfuscation/convenience/wrapper function
features/compatibility layers and similar reasons. I don't really see that
as a problem.
"getElementsByTagName" is annoying but it's mostly because of that extra
capitalised N. My vote would be consistency with the other DOM functions
and thus getElement(s)BySelector .
