a web component

  - Need a workaround for DOM-based accessibility assessment tools
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-pfwg/2014Mar/0112.html
  We need to validate that all selectors resolve to a Node. Can we use eval
() to do this? Need to see if eval will return null if no node available.
