Subject: Elements array and query/queryAll methods
Re:

http://www.w3.org/TR/domcore/#parentnode
I'm looking any resources that elaborate on the Elements collection and the query and queryAll methods of the ParentNode interface.
My understanding:
* Elements is a subclass of Array, so we have all the mutator functions the HTMLCollection and NodeList lack.
* query and queryAll allow CSS combinators to be used with the node they are invoked on.
* query and queryAll return Elements collection.
Questions:
* What use cases is Elements intended to solve the NodeList and HTMLCollection aren't suited for?
* What other functions return an Elements object?
* Will there be a "live" Elements array?
* Is Elements intended to replace the use of NodeList and HTMLCollection?
* Where can I find the UA implementation status for these features?
* Does anyone know of a polyfill for either?
Thanks in advance for anyone who is able to point me in the right direction. I haven't been able to find anything other than the specs I linked to above.
