Given the input from Björn I suppose there's no real need for a method
that returns a single element node (assuming implementations make that
optimization). Given that, I propose we rename .getAll() to
.getElementsBySelector() and drop .get() (on both Document and Element).
One advantage is that it's consistent with the naming people already use
for custom written functions that have this functionality. In theory it's
also not harder to type than .getElementsByTagName(). The only thing that
makes it differ from the other getElementsBy* method(s) is that it doesn't
return a live NodeList. I don't see that as a major problem.
If there are no strong objections I'll implement this in the specification.
Not having heard strong objections, and having had support for
getElementsBySelector() that is at least as strong as anything else, I think (with
my chair's hat) this can be taken as the current resolution of the naming debate.
Which would also resolve ISSUE-110.
Any objections?

And I notice dojo has a
dojo.getElementsByClass function, so it looks like very similar to the
current naming for a similar functionality in existing widespread
toolkit out there.
