ISSUE-6 (Element Traversal Nodelist): Should the ElementTraversal Interface Have a Nodelist? [Element Traversal] http://www.w3.org/2008/webapps/track/issues/ Raised by: Doug Schepers On product: Element Traversal Daniel Glazman requested that a nodelist or item accessor be added to the ET spec, in <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapi/2008Mar/0226.html>, spawning a long thread. Doug discussed the history of similar proposals, from himself, Mozilla, and others in <http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapi/2008Mar/0246.html>. On the plus side, it would allow for discrete access to elements in some use cases, and would be easy to implement for UAs that already have a nodelist implementation. On the downside, it is heavier to implement if the UA doesn't already have nodelist (such as some mobile uses), and ET is already referenced by other specifications.
