I'll review your algorithm and respond to that a bit later.

Yes.

<p>
   <input id="x">
   <strong>
     <label for="x">X</label>
   </strong>
   <span>...</span>
</p>

var foo = document.find("strong");
foo.find(">label /for/ input+:scope~span);

After prepending :scope, that will match the span element.
