I'd like to see a getElementsByAttr method. It would be quite similar as
the getElementsByClassName method but with an extra argument:
getElementsByAttr(attribute_name, value)
The W3C's WebAPI group is specifying a selectors API (the spec was mostly
put together by Anne van Kesteren, and now Lachy Hunt is finishing it up),
which allows you to do this. The longest running issue is the name of the
methods (hopefully we have some closure on that now...) but it lets you do
something like
methodName("*[lang|=en]") that returns whatever matches that selector....
