It is generally very easy to say that something's wrong. But it is much
more helpful to say how to do it right!
If you have a better name for the PSEP please say so. I personally don't
care much about the PSEPs name so would be happy to change it if there
was a better suggestion.
The PyQt API certainly has some awkward corners and I hope that PySide
does a lot better in those areas. But PyQt has a *lot* of users and
PySide hardly any, so most people who are using Python + Qt bindings
know the PyQt way and it seems to me that it would be a shame to make
things hard for them.
However, I agree with you that PySide should be better, but it can still
be as compatible as possible.

I think that your assumption is incorrect. PySide is not slavishly
following the PyQt API. Instead PySide is taking the best of the PyQt
API, and adding its own improvements.
