Given that, I propose we rename .getAll() to > .getElementsBySelector() and drop .get() (on both Document and Element). I don't actually think it will be possible to make this optimization. In the past we talked about mapping the StaticNodeList interface in the ECMAScript bindings to a normal ECMA array. And possibly do the same thing in other languages such as Java. This means that we can't use a custom class that performs the lazy evaluation. Though looking at the latest version of the spec it looks like StaticNodeList does not map to arrays, was that idea dropped or is it just not in the spec yet? / Jonas
