ACK.

Your logic is flawed.  getElementsByClassName() was not invoked on an object 
implementing the HTMLElement interface here; it was invoked on an object 
implementing the (HTML)Document interface.  That is a separate method, as 
even your own references say.

So this example does not apply here in two respects:

  1. another method
  2. another selector

Again you have referred to a Working Draft and a Working Group Note, which 
both are non-normative, although a Proposed Recommendation and a 
Recommendation, respectively, are available.

<http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/PR-html5-20140916/infrastructure.html#common-dom-interfaces>

refers to

<http://www.w3.org/TR/dom/#document>

and thus

<http://www.w3.org/TR/dom/#dom-document-getelementsbyclassname>

and

<http://www.w3.org/TR/dom/#dom-parentnode-queryselectorall>
