Element.dataset is nice, because when it is implemented by the browser
Your code can just use the browser version. And because it is in the
html standard more and more people would use it anyway, so in the end
we would have two idioms (Element.dataset['fooBar'] and
Element.get('data-foo-bar')) in the code doing exactly the same
thing, which is a mess and decreases readability.
just my two cents...
