This is a neat feature, and similar to the append_xml_fragment() method
in Amara.  I do wonder whether it should be the default, though.  As an
example, in Amara the above would set text in that element and escape
the angle brackets.  If you wanted to add child elements you'd have to
do:

doc.definitions.message.append_xml_fragment('<h1>Hei I can assign XML to
elements that will be parsed on the fly.</h1> Good!')

My worry with your approach is that if I want to use such characters in
my regular XML, I'd have to escape them.  Rather than doing:

doc.definitions.message = '100 < 1000'

I'd have to do:

doc.definitions.message = '100 &lt; 1000'

Which seems a bit odd at the content API level?

Yes.  Nice.  What does doc.xml.composestream(stream) do, though?

I'm sorry that I don't have much time to peruse your code.
