I guess the main question if whether minidom wants to adhere to the standard or 
be pythonic, and it's not up to me to decide, although personally I like 
standards.

The common use case for DOM functions returning the relevant nodes is for the 
caller to chain calls, e.g.,

e1.setAttributeNode(e0.removeAttributeNode(e0.getAttributeNode("a")))

instead of

a=e0.getAttributeNode("foo")
e0.removeAttributeNode(a)
e1.setAttributeNode(a)
