[XML-SIG] More Pythonic XML creation

Thanks for all the replies to my inquiry about creation
of documents from scratch using the DOM.

I've rewritten my document "Python and the XML DOM" to
conform to the way the Python 2.3 xml.dom.minidom module
wants you to use factory methods: see section 6, `Creating
a document from scratch' in this document:

    http://www.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/pyxml/

Also included in this document is a module that makes
document creation more Pythonic.  It is described in
section 7 of the document, and section 8 contains a
"literate programming" presentation of the code of the
new module.

I would greatly appreciate any comments.

Best regards,
