HTMLAllCollection historically had a tags() method, but it is currently only implemented in […].
As some evidence of its notability, the method is discussed explicitly in Using Dynamic HTML (1997) by Gulbransen and Rawlings, pages 115, 116, and 119. I have also seen it in the wild in scripts like the one below, which now needs many patches to run in modern browsers.
