[Fedora-suds-list] Failed to construct the parameter to use VMWare ESXi function.

[Jeff Ortel]

Hey Leslie,

This is a known limitation in suds.  Attributes with leading (_) are deemed to be 
attributes.  I know, it's not the best convention but has worked pretty well since the 
beginning :)

I probably need to either:

1) make the (_) special char configurable
2) provide for an exception list
3) make allow for escaping with (__).

I like #3 the best.  I'll look into it.

Regards,

Jeff
