I definitely remember that there was a thread about this a while back,
including the concern that getElementsByClassName("foo bar") might
erroneously lead people to believe that the class names had to be
present in that order.
I suggest that participants in this thread reacquaint themselves with
the discussion in the previous one before having it again.
