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.

As you Jean-Paul Calderone seem to know what you're talking about could you provide a patch to get this issue going? If not I might even have a go myself, even if I do get shot down in flames. |

I think this could be sneaked into 3.2 if needed, but is it more work than the benefits actually deliver in the real world? |
