Type ElementBase

object --+    
         |    
  _Element --+
             |
            ElementBase

Known Subclasses:
bluff_class, default_class, maeh_class, ObjectifiedElement

All custom Element classes must inherit from this one.

Note that subclasses *must not* override __init__ or __new__ as it is absolutely undefined when these objects will be created or destroyed. All persistent state of Elements must be stored in the underlying XML. If you really need to initialize the object after creation, you can implement an ``_init(self)`` method that will be called after object creation.
