It looks like you've figured out the answer already but just in case:
The only difference is that QElement runs the element contents through
htmlspecialchars().  Htmlspecialchars() encodes characters like '<', '>',
'&', etc... as HTML entities ('&lt;', ...).

So you should use Element() when the HTML element you're producing
contains
sub-elements, and QElement() when the elements contents are plain text.

Does that help?
