If you have foo and want the next element sibling, it makes sense to just use
nextElementSibling even if foo is not an element. Currently nextElementSibling
is only defined on Element. The same argument goes for the other element
traversal members.

Specifically, I think the following makes sense:

children
firstElementChild
lastElementChild
childElementCount
on Document, DocumentFragment, Element

previousElementSibling
nextElementSibling
on DocumentType, Element, CharacterData

I think this is similar to the new mutation methods (prepend() et al).
