[lxml-dev] Is it bug?

Hello!

I discover some counterintuitive behavior of 'tail' attribute:

    >>> from lxml import etree
    >>> a = etree.XML('<a><b>text</b>tail</a>')
    >>> b = a[0]
    >>> print b.tail
    tail
    >>> a[:] = []
    >>> print b.tail
    None  #  EXPECTED: tail

I think, it is bug or at least worth note in documentation

Thank you for the great library, anyway! :)
