Mine is to offer an alternative to Javascript, with the simplicity and elegance of the Python syntax, for a programer who wants to develop a web application and doesn't know Javascript. Ultimately this means that the whole DOM API would be described without any mention of Javascript, only with the Python API

If that's your intention, then instead of coming up with something totally
new, unpythonic and ugly, why not take the normal Python route and
implement a subset of the ElementTree API?
