Description

I wish jQuery supported a :heading selector, as an alias of the :header selector, since I think that (strictly speaking) <h1>, <h2>, etc. are "headings" not "headers"? http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/global.html#h-7.5.5

This would be a 3 line plugin if you wanted to support this for yourself. :)

Although additions to the selector syntax are tempting, additions to the selector syntax will make the string invalid to querySelectorAll -- or in the worst case, *accepted* by querySelectorAll but interpreted incorrectly. The fallback is Sizzle's Javascript-based selector engine and potentially a performance hit.
