And maybe a bit of advice -- we could just do this as a set of functions 
(what we currently have), or potentially explore objectify and add the 
routines as methods.  E.g., el.find_by_class('classname')

This feels like a cleaner API, but I'm worried that it will mean 
problems when mixing non-objectify-HTML with other elements, and if 
there's problems with threads or memory overhead, or any other issues. 
I don't really mind functions, which is why I am unsure; OTOH, almost 
every function has a first argument of "el", which makes them seem like 
methods.
