New submission from Jean-Paul Calderone <exar...@divmod.com>:
In order to create an element with an attribute and a child, this is
necessary:
e = Element("foo")
e.setAttribute("bar", "baz")
e.appendChild(quux)
It would be preferable if Element.__init__ accepted two additional
parameters to shorten this:
e = Element("foo", attributes={"bar": "baz"}, children=[quux])
It may also be preferable to have a third new parameter, attributesNS,
to parallel the Element.setAttributeNS method. This would accept a dict
mapping namespaceURI and qualifiedName to an attribute value.
