Re: [whatwg/dom] Suggestion: new method - getNodesByType (#992)

I'd  far rather use  document.evaluate("//comment()") (i.e. XPath) for this case, as it's much more  readable even for people who don't like XPath or are allergic to the letter x :-)

Making it easier to call XPath would be a good thing for cases like this, too; in
document.evaluate( '//comment()', document, null, XPath.ANY_TYPE, null );
only the first argument should really be needed.

Any API in which the integer literal 8 is passed to refer to the type of something has to be questioned,  XHTTPRequest notwithstanding :)
