I don't understand what you mean by "polluting". What impact do matchSingle and matchAll have on the ecology of the document object? All that said, maybe it would be expedient to stick with the really, really long names and standardize the shortcuts, using a method on window to turn them on. That way, older browsers that don't implement the "Quick DOM" standard could be catered to by adding a script element. -- Robert Sayre "I would have written a shorter letter, but I did not have the time."
