I don't understand the use case for being able to get a list of all form elements that are children of any arbitrary element. Why would you need to know the form element children of a <dfn> element? And if the element you really need it for is <div>, then what semantic are you missing? (<div> means nothing in HTML, it's just a band-aid element for when HTML doesn't have the element you _really_ need, like <section> or <navigation>.) We should add the element you are missing, and then add |elements| to that element, if it is appropriate. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
