I'd have no objection to supporting these methods on DocumentFragment  
too, although it does not seem terribly important.

I think ability to do element-rooted selector queries (either through  
a new method or a :scope pseudo-element) is more important, since it's  
needed to replicate the feature set of JS query libraries.
