hello,

this from the spec:
Note: Elements is the better solution for representing a collection
<https://www.w3.org/TR/dom/#concept-collection> of elements
<https://www.w3.org/TR/dom/#concept-element>. HTMLCollection
<https://www.w3.org/TR/dom/#htmlcollection> is an historical artifact we
cannot rid the web of.

what does that mean in fact?
Does it mean:

document.getElementsByTagName('p')[0] is the better way than using
var paras = document.getElementsByTagName('p');
paras[0];


best regards
