It doesn't work because we extend HTMLElement, not Element (the DOM
interface), which does not lend itself to extension at all.

I'm not sure about what you mean here by "roughly" ("almost everywhere"
or "barely anywhere" ;-)).
At any rate, I don't believe Core would be interested in implementing an
extraction layer over *any* DOM, including XML DOM, if only because XML,
as a data format for AJAX responses, is dead in the water. Hardly
anybody bothers to deal with it on the client side, when formats such as
JSON are so much easier, and faster, to deal with.
However, if someone wants to come up with a tested add-on, please do!
