[issue4849] instantiating and populating xml.dom.minidom.Element is cumbersome

Sorry, stray submit, one more time:

Thanks for the patch, Alexandre.Zani!

Your patch had some whitespace issues according to `make patchcheck` (see http://docs.python.org/devguide/patch.html#generation for details).

I've uploaded a trivial update to your patch that passes patchcheck. The patch applies cleanly and test_minidom passes.

This enhancement may need some documentation on the new constructor before getting merged, but let's get a design review going.
