Fair enough, here are the requirements for the name:
* short * simple
Why are these requirements for the name, no other DOM names are short and simple, they're clear and unambiguous,
And that's why so much code is done with DOM Level 0 instead,
No, almost everything is done with the lowest possible DOM level that meets the use case, and it will continue to do so, anything else is crazyness, not least because the only versioning capability the W3 has given scripters is the ludicrous hasFeature.
It's also the correct behaviour, stick with the oldest and most reliable.
it's important for common operations to have simple names.
I think that's rubbish, I see scripters having no problems with the length of names, they're mostly confused about the what methods actually do - I think you're reading too much into the minority library blogging scripts, and spending little time with large scale scripting projects in commercial environments.
It seems preferrable to have the single-item version be a shorter expression than the multi-match. I do think the 1 case is significantly different from the N case, because in the single-item case you won't loop, you will just want to do your processing directly.
That's an optimisation for the User Agent to make, not the scripter, the limit 1 will specifically allow the script author not to loop, just like using match.
Furthermore, the name "selectNodes" for a function that matches against an XPath expression seems accepted, even though it says nothing about XPath in the name.
Accepted where? It's certainly not accepted by me, however the existing implementation carries weight - which is why I'd be somewhat willing to accept the getElementsBySelector as at least there is one implementation.
Cheers,
Jim.
