I updated the Selectors API specification today and added equivalent methods for element nodes. It didn't make much sense to me to postpone this.

I resolved the naming debate by going for:

* Document.get()
* Document.getAll()
* Element.get()
* Element.getAll()

These names are short, don't clash with autocomplete and provide a superset of the functionality given by the other get* methods.

+1.

I think short names will be good for readability of DOM code, if these methods become as widely used as we expect. And they will do a lot towards making standard DOM methods competitive in conciseness and ease of use with "DOM Level 0" APIs.
