Even better: Python is a good place for inspiration, i.e. document
fragments should behave like Python sequences (__getitem__, __setitem__,
__delitem__, append, insert, __len__) etc. and attribute maps should
behave like Python mappings (__getitem__, __setitem__, get, has_key, keys,
items, values, etc.). Elements should behave like both!
