I was a little confused. I realized something I already knew in that
elem.querySelector[All] does limit the matched set to the descendants of
element, but the selector itself is not relative. Sorry about that.
I guess my only question now is what is the difference between the way
.find[All] and .querySelector[All] relate to the context object? Why the
wording difference?
Thanks again,
