No matter what else, we _have_ to do the remove thing! foo.parentNode.removeChild(foo) is just .... <sigh>. The only worry with adding these is on* attributes that might happen to use those barewords and expect to hit global scope. Do we have any data on such things?

And for option 2 anything else throws? Note that in webidl terms, "array", "nodelist", and "anything with a length property" are sort of the same thing last I checked.... -Boris
