With just the old propose you could get the same effect like this:
Element.create('div', {}, Element.create('svg', {}, Element.create('g', {},
Element.create('rect', {title: 'An svg rectangle in an HTML div'}))))
Chaining .create() is certainly less verbose. Doesn't work as well for
inserting multiple children into an element though.
