That simplifies the code, sure.
But it stops anyone from subclassing the tag classes.
Consider:
class TDcen(TD):
def __init__(self, *contents):
TD.__init__(self, contents)
TD.readAttr(self, 'align', 'center')
a = HTML(HEAD(TITLE(TagParm('title'))),
BODY(TABLE(attr(cellspacing=2, cellpadding=2, width='100%'),
TR(TDcen(TagParm('leftpane')),
TDcen(TagParm('rightpane'))))))
p1 = Tag(P('first para'), P('second para'))
p2 = Tag('Just some plain text')
a.dump(title='this page title', leftpane=p1, rightpane=p2)
Here, I've subclassed 'TD' into 'TDcen', which creates a table cell with
'align=center' already added to the attributes.

I feel my design is highly generic. Tag objects can be assigned to variables,
subclassed, and/or referenced within other tag objects.

Very much appreciated. I have a C background, and am presently struggling to
unlearn PHP. Relieved to be at last getting some grasp on Python.
