Yes. In my opinion, Using None is better than inf
because inf should be imported seperately in numarray
(from numarray.ieeespecial import nan, inf).

The xlim and ylim are ones I frequently use to adjust axis ranges.
I am quite sure many users will like the addition.
Note that xlim and ylim change only one axis without touching other axes,
such as automatic scaling.
Glad to contribute something to Matplotlib. Thanks for your effort.
