With is actually a very nice name for some things, it creates very readable, english-looking code.
And what about `class`? Or `for` (that one clashes hard against the HTML object model, label elements have a for attribute). `in`, `except` or `is` may also be interesting in some cases.
Do all Python keywords have this issue? No, I doubt anybody's ever tried to called an attribute `elif`, but I definitely ran into the issue a few times.
for loops existed long before HTML, so I don't really see your point. Again, I've never needed to use any of the reserved keywords for variables.
