Stefan Behnel <sco...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment: Note that Element is also a factory function in lxml.etree, and people have been living with this quite happily. I don't see a reason to change either side. There is a dedicated function iselement(obj) for exactly the purpose of testing if something is an Element object. isinstance() is not the right way to do it and inheritance is not portable. (the right type to inherit from in lxml is actually called ElementBase)
I'm fine with changing the other two (XMLParser and TreeBuilder), if only for consistency.
