| Yes.

But, you can use #!rest to get _all_ the arguments and then
grovel through them yourself

  (define make-element #!rest args)
	
  (make-element gi: "foo" attributes: '() (process-children))

FYI, you can't, however, use

  (define make-element #!key (gi "") #!rest args)

It also appears (I've read the doc, but not tested it yet) that
you could use the DSSSL2 declare-flow-object-macro function.

                                        Cheers,
                                          norm
