In 

http://python.org/doc/current/lib/attributes-impl-objects.html
http://python.org/doc/current/lib/attributes-ns-impl-objects.html

The APIs given for these objects are only the broad, non-Pythonic ones.  I 
think this leads people into an ugly, style for accessing these objects which 
doesn't take advantage of Python.  It also, incodentally, leads people to a 
nasty bug in expatreader with namespace_feature on:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=563399&group_id=6473&
atid=106473

Anyway, is there any reason the Pythonic APIS (__getitem__, keys, get, items, 
etc.) are not documented?
