This is the problem. Just watching for bug report is not really enough

Note also that we can't really do this for HTMLCollection, only
NodeList. Which is enough for querySelector, of course.

The latter, and not just evangelism, but compat testing, is what really
matters. Adding this stuff to NodeList in Gecko doesn't even need any
C++ changes; it looks like this:
