I was under the impression that within the context of a DOM element :root would be equivalent to the root element itself - not the document element.
Thus these two would be equivalent (returning the same sets of elements):
document.getElementById("test").getElementsByTagName("div")
document.getElementById("test").querySelectorAll(":root div")
If that's not the case then disregard all of the previous ":root is a good solution" talk, because that's what I was basing this on.
