I find these names rather cumbersome and not very self-explanatory.
I agree.
Though it may be far too late for this suggestion, I would suggest that
they should be something such as:
findNode()/findNodes() or findNode()/findAllNodes()
selectNode()/selectNodes() or selectNode()/selectAllNodes()
findBySelector()/findAllBySelector()
However, unfortunately, given the significant amount of prior discussion
of this issue and the formal process which led to the selection of the
current names; and the fact that we have implementations due to be
released in upcoming versions of each of the 4 major browsers, changing
the name at this stage is not possible.
Please let me know whether or not you are satisfied with this response.
