I'd like to support this. I typically have an array of pointers to table
bodies, and I want to search those looking for a particular row by id. Only one
of the table bodies is in the DOM at any given time, and at present for a table
body that is not in the DOM I have to hook it to a fragment and then do
something like:
rowPtr = fragPtr.querySelector ("#" + id);
I'd rather be able to use getElementById.
