   lookup(self, type, doc, namespace, name)

to lookup the element class for a node. Arguments of the method: * type: one of 'element', 'comment', 'PI', 'entity' * doc: document that the node is in * namespace: namespace URI of the node (or None for comments/PIs/entities) * name: name of the element/entity, None for comments, target for PIs
