No, I'm pretty sure that it's as Chris Lilley said a couple of days ago [1],
that they were needed for Netscape 4, and are simply no longer relevant.

There are seveal of these naughty getters and settings that I see commonly:
 getTarget()
 getOwnerDocument()
 getClientX()
...etc...
These should be avoided if you want your code to be portable. 

But just to confuse the issue, there are several valid getters (and a
smaller number of setters) in SVG's IDL:
 getBBox()
 getAttributeNS()
 getElementById()
 getCTM()
...and the list goes on...

I've started a section on the SVG-Wiki that lists (and will eventually
detail) only the "real" DOM methods and properties [2]. As I get time, or if
others want to help, each method or property will have its own page with a
description, parameters and return values, support matrix, and code example.
I think I got most of the major ones, but if I missed any, please let me
know.
