Your 
answer 
is 
"yes". 
mine, 
according 
to

your 
specification 
- 
no.

The 
spec 
states:

I was likely misled by Gecko that exposes objects 
containing interfaces implementations, such as, for example, "EventTarget" or 
"DocumentEvent" from DOM-Events spec.

One 
potential

here 
is 
that 
we 
don't 
expose 
a 
StaticNodeList 
constructor 
on 
the

(window.StaticNodeList) 
but 
instead 
use 
the 
NodeList's

Probably, I just called "javascript:alert(document.querySelectorAll('html'))" and saw "[object NodeList]".

Have also noticed that, guess you'll soon add it!?
