#' Create XML dialog section for RKWard plugins
#'
#' This function will create a dialog section with optional child nodes "browser", "checkbox",
#' "column", "copy", "dropdown", "embed", "formula", "frame", "include", "input", "insert",
#' "preview", "radio", "row", "saveobject", "select", "spinbox", "stretch", "tabbook", "text",
#' "valueselector", "valueslot", "varselector" and "varslot".
#'
#' @param ... Objects of class \code{XiMpLe.node}.
#' @param label Character string, a text label for this plugin element.
#' @param recommended Logical, whether the dialog should be the recommended interface (unless the user has configured
#'    RKWard to default to a specific interface). This attribute currently has no effect, as it is implicitly "true",
#'    unless the wizard is recommended.
#' @param i18n Either a character string or a named list with the optional elements \code{context}
#'    or \code{comment}, to give some \code{i18n_context} information for this node. If set to \code{FALSE},
#'    the attribute \code{label} will be renamed into \code{noi18n_label}.
#' @return An object of class \code{XiMpLe.node}.
