If you have:
<p class="foo bar">Fred</p>
<p class="bar foo">Barney</p>
<p class="foo baz bar">Wilma</p>
which should be picked up by getElementsByClassName("foo bar")?
In the "string split" mode, it would pick up all three. However, I
suggest that designers might be misled by this interface into thinking
that it only picks up the first one - which matches exactly.
So I think a multiple-argument interface would remove this possible
confusion, and make things more obvious than a whitespace-splitting
interface.
getElementsByClassName("foo", "bar") ideally, but if that's hard, then
getElementsByClassName(["foo", "bar"]);
So I agree with Brad, I think :-)

Hello!
I wouldn't go for:
getElementsByClassName("foo", "bar")
Because that's not ideal in my opinion, since that makes harder to add an
arbitrary number of classes to search for programatically.
I would go for:
getElementsByClassName("foo bar")
But, as you said, that can add some confusion. Therefore, this is ideal:
getElementsByClassName(["foo", "bar"])
