I'm utterly confused.

In fact, it was only last night that I was attempting to patch a
local copy of Base2 so that I could start using get() and getAll()!

More seriously, though, the latest version in cvs

http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/2006/webapi/selectors-api/Overview.html?rev=1.27

has querySelector() and querySelectorAll(). Nor is that a mistake

"Indeed. As chair, this is a formal announcement that the decision of the
group is to use the name querySelector, and publish the last call draft
with that name. (This gives the public a chance to raise any objection
that they think will convince the group to open this debate and go round
*AGAIN* - as W3C process requires - but means that within the group the
issue is until then considered resolved by vote)."

Phew!

Mind you, back in June, Lachlan said that he was now prepared to go
with cssQuery()...
