This seems like an excellent idea. To do in addition to the
ElementTraversal spec.
I understand from Jonas's answer that he also never heard before
of that "popular" getChildrenByTagName()...
I hadn't, but I wouldn't expect to either since I'm not looking at
toolkits that often.
But I was serious about thinking that adding the function seems like a
good idea. It's currently much too painful to navigate around in the DOM
so it's something we should try to fix.
