Sadly, not all the requests -- it wouldn't, for example, handle the
request that started this thread.
In general I think the best solution would be either
getElementsBySelector() (which would be the responsibility of the CSS
working group, so requests for that should go to www-style at w3.org) or just
using the NodeIterator interface from DOM2.
