Since a DOMTokenString just extends DOMString, anything that accepts a
DOMString will automatically be able to accept a DOMTokenString,
including getElementsByClassName. So your example will already work.
Conversely, if it were defined as accepting a DOMTokenString, you
couldn't pass it a regular string.

That might be useful. Though, I can't think of any specific use cases
for needing it other than for class names.
