I wasted some time the other evening on an API which returned a string

design choice isn't good (it's an automatic attribute based on a tag,
returning None if the tag isn't there). My experience so far is that it
_looks_ handy so that you can safely say "foo.bar" all the time, but as
soon a you do something with the value you're in for a world of
None-checking.
