I don't see any difference:.
document.getElementBySelector("html > p")
is the same as document.getElementListBySelector("html > p")[0]

document.getElementBySelector("html > p:not(:first-child)")
is the same as document.getElementListBySelector("html >
p:not(:first-child)")[0]

document.getElementBySelector("html > p:last-child")
is the same as document.getElementListBySelector("html > p:last-child")[0]

as far as I can see.
