Description Anne 2012-05-01 23:09:15 UTC 
Exposing getElementById() etc. here but not on DocumentFragment does not make sense to me. Is NodeSelector not enough?

Selection is exposed as window.getSelection() today. Why should it be ShadowRoot.selection?

Should we actually define this interface in the DOM? Introducing new nodes outside the DOM specification seems kind of odd.

NodeSelector is quite sufficient. Are you thinking we should just remove get* methods from ShadowRoot?

Yup, my bad. Fixed this in http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcomponents/rev/d694bf9b9d3c.

I agree, I think we need to align this spec with the DOM Core and HTML specs, as we discussed at the F2F.
Comment 2 Anne 2012-05-15 09:22:46 UTC 
I think we should remove the getEle* methods yes. I think we should remove "ShadowRoot implements NodeSelector;" too as ShadowRoot inherits from DocumentFragment which already has that. The same goes for innerHTML.

The only quirk is that querySelector/querySelectorAll have slightly different semantics when called on ShadowRoot.
Comment 4 Anne 2014-08-05 12:55:49 UTC 
Why would they have different semantics?
Comment 5 Hayato Ito 2014-11-19 04:53:34 UTC 
getElementById was already removed. Let me merge this to bug 23620.
