I don't know about that. The kind of interface used above has become very popular in the Python world... because it's useful. It may not cover the entire domain of XML manipulations well, but it does cover an important corner.
Maybe it is, maybe it does. But you are still optimizing the wrong case; horrible procedural code for creating a toy XML.
I don't understand what you're objecting to. The XML schema being generated is not realistic?
Now, if you find the code I posted horrible, that'd be another matter. :-)
Well, I didn't understand the point you were trying to make, whereas (of course) I find my own code immediately understandable. Not being able to understand the code is one form of horror ;-) -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting http://www.boost-consulting.com The Astoria Seminar ==> http://www.astoriaseminar.com
