It's an open issue: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17648
(Temporary) IDL constraints don't affect API design though.

Rather, a temporary state while we were arguing about ES6 and waiting

How do you write that using WebIDL? It there an attribute for that?

As far as I know, an iterator can only go forward, not backward (while a tree
walker can). But I agree 90% of the use cases map to a forward navigation and
it would be nice to support for-of

I hate TreeWalker because it's an iterator but not an ES Iterator.
DOM is broken, legacy cruft, etc.
I'm fine with something that exposes TreeWalker's abilities to start
from a given node, but

Why? I need *exactly* the behavior the TreeWalker is offering me now: ie a lazy

Again, that doesn't solve my TreeWalker use case :-/

You make the assumption I want to walk in the forward direction and do not want
to start from a spec
Both of these seem very like the ES6 iterator interface. Can you just use that
instead of minting a new iterable/iterator interface, viz.
`.iterator()`/`.next()` or `.nextNode()`? The resulting code would be
```js
var tw = document.createTreeWalker(document.body, "ul.menu > li");
for (var node
An alternate proposal:
http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2013-July/040264.html.
What I like about my proposal is that it can be generalized to anything
that returns a Sequence and also is just less awkward than the
TreeWalker/NodeIterator interfaces.
