Take a look in the new elements.py. I have added some information
about the ranks of different elements and a possibility to register
new elements. I don't think ScalarElement will be needed. Just as
before, we have two things: FiniteElement and MixedElement and then
VectorElement and TensorElement as special cases of MixedElement.

The file ufl_io.py was missing so I couldn't run the code, so it's
probably broken in a few places...
