In the spec getElementsByTagName, getElementsByTagNameNS and
getElementsByClassName are on Document and Element separately.

They're also on ShadowRoot, which inherits from DocumentFragment:
http://w3c.github.io/webcomponents/spec/shadow/#shadowroot-object

Putting it on ParentNode seems like a simplification, and that's also where
querySelector and querySelectorAll live.

The observable difference would be that getElementsBy* become usable on
non-ShadowRoot DocumentFragments.
