Another thing on my 1.3 wish list:
The usage of the _DEFAULT_NSMAP in the Element() and DataElement() factories.
Also the lazier handling of _xsi user arguments for DataElement(), allowing unregistered (or even plain wrong) xsi type names without raising an exception.
Hmm, if this stuff is painful to separate from the QName-awareness for xsi:type attributes (xsd-prefixing), then I am pro putting it all into 1.3.
rather than keeping it back for 2.0.
After all, this is more of a bugfix: xsi:type handling is broken in a way without the ns-prefixes.
