Hi,
just realized that the extended xsi:type-support which registers more xsi:types in _registerPyTypes is also not in 1.3 currently. I think this isn't really a change in behaviour, but rather an extension and some fix (more appropriate mapping of xsi:types to python builtin types). +1 for inclusion in 1.3.
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. Holger -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?
