Je ne vois pas très bien à quoi sert cette classe (à moins bien sûr
qu'il y ait d'autre code). Pour ce que je vois là, pourquoi ne pas
appeler directement les classes HtmlPage, HtmlElement et HtmlLiteral ?
Err... I don't see the point of this class. Why not just calling the
HtmlPage|Element|Literal classes directly ?

'to_string' ?
Let's see... 'to_string', a class with only staticmethods in it...
You're coming from Java, aren't you ?-)

yes : pass along *args and **kwargs to the HtmlElement constructor !-)

yes again : kiss (Keep It Simple Stupid)
There's not enough code to really grasp what you're trying to do, but
from what I see, I'd say you're having a bad case of arbitrary
overcomplexification.
What's wrong with:
# nb: class is a reserved word in Python
ul = HtmlElement('ul', css_class='default')
for i in range(3):
ul.append(HtmlElement('li', 'baaz%d' % i)
# nb2: use the __str__() method of HtmlElement
print str(ul)
Python's philosophy is to make simple things simple (don't worry,
there's still space for complex things -> descriptors, metaclasses etc).
