IMHO your API is confusing in the first place, if xhtmlNode is supposed
to create an XHTML element (possibly with attributes), why would you
want to pass also the content as a positional argument?
I would probably keep the element and its content separate and do
something like:
div = xhtmlNode('div', **attributes)
div.add(TextNode('Hello World'))
or, if you want a shortcut:
xhtmlNode('div', id='sidebar', content='Hello world') or
xhtmlNode('div', id='sidebar', text='Hello world')
