I was thinking about integrating cElementTree in the future, but to make a quick proof of concept, I just have my toxml() manually assembling a string, using generators.
currently, XMLValue and it's subclasses are optional, with a 'required' bool keyword argument to __init__, also an XMLNodeList can have 0 items (and therefore not appear) I could add another magic attribute parsed from XMLAttrs, like _tagname, called _required ... but generally if a tag has child tags, its going to be used. I've seen hypy before, some months ago, it's yet another template language; It is an interesting idea though.
