I don't have pointers offhand, but sites out there do things like:

var list = document.getElementsByTagName("something");
while (list.length) {
   list[0].parentNode.removeChild(list[0]);
}

above in the wild while looking at pages that had other issues in Gecko, 
though.

querySelectorAll doesn't return a live nodelist.
