To be slightly more complete...

I also wondered about how many script-writing users would essentially 
replicate the functionality?  IMO, if it turns out that almost everyone 
(i.e., all users) need to do the same thing -- write some subset or another 
of ApsAttr-searching code -- then it makes sense to add the convenience 
method to the DOM.

As Stuart says, we don't know yet how widespread the need will be...
