The point is that there is room for all of these methods for

I guess the question is "why bother with getElementByClassName if a full
getElementByCSSSelector-type method is available"?. Possible answers
would include speed and ease of use but I'm not sure either applies here.
"adding stuff people want instead of referring them to vapourware" isn't a
very clear distinction. Since both are currently vapourware, it would be
helpful to ahve some rational basis for determining that one is desired
and another is not. Like James, I so far don't see that in this discussion.
