How about we change getElementsByClassName() to do this:
1. Let asciilowercasetoken be the result of lowercasing token.
2. Iterate through the DOM and return elements which:
a. Have the HTML namespace and whose localName is identical
to asciilowercasetoken.
b. localName is identical to token.
This would work well for Selectors too I think. You would never match
createElementNS(HTML namespace,"IMG"), but that element does not have
actual <img> semantics anyway and is something people would never do.
