I haven't read the whole draft yet so maybe it's in there, but can you, or anyone else, explain why there is both a selectElement and a selectAllElements method?
I'm no authority, but: If you know you're after one element, you get to deal with it directly rather than first referencing the only contents of a single-element array. That's not a big deal, I suppose, but a some benefits are reduced and more readable code (i.e., reading through the code would make it obvious that only a single element was desired in any given case). Also, it sort of provides a correlation with getElementById, and while I find the symmetry somewhat appealing, I'm not sure if that motivated anybody's thinking. Dan
