Why only in this particular case? :)
I didn't say "only"...
As a rule that seems like sound
guidance. If it's implemented everywhere, shouldn't you have to make
a pretty compelling case for it _not_ to be included in an official
standard?
I agree. The reason I phrased it as I did was to contrast with my
previous remarks. The "children" attribute should be part of a
standard, even though it creates what I think is a poor design pattern
(mix of previous/next and indexed access to the same collection).
