Description Lachlan Hunt 2009-09-23 09:38:47 UTC 
The suggestion is to be able to run querySelector() and querySelectorAll() on NodeList, and have the result be the union of results in document order from running the method on each Element in the NodeList.
Comment 1 Lachlan Hunt 2009-09-26 21:51:38 UTC 
The generalised use case for this is to be able to select elements based on their relationship to other elements in a given collection.  This seems to be adequately addressed by the scoped selector proposal.
