I'm partial to the failIf/Unless convention, so how about:

  5. asserts.failIfNode

which also works (for me, at least) in the other cases 

asserts.failIfValue
asserts.failIfImageLoaded
asserts.failIfSelected
asserts.failIfChecked
...

If that is too different to the existing approach then it could still
use assert, i.e. 

asserts.assertIfNode
asserts.assertIfValue
asserts.assertIfImageLoaded
asserts.assertIfSelected
asserts.assertIfChecked
...

Another option might be to support both approaches, i.e. the existing
assertNode / assertIfNode and also failUnlessNode / failIfNode for those
people who work that way in unittest?
