I do not know about "xml.etree" but the (said) quite compatible
"lxml.etree" handles text nodes in a quite different way from
that of "DOM": they are *not* considered children of the parent
element but are attached as attributes "text" and "tail" to either
the container element (if the first DOM node is a text node) or the preceeding
element, otherwise.
Your code snippet suggests that "xml.etree" behaves identically in
this respect. In this case, you would find "Title of the second book"
as the "tail" attribute of the element "coauthored".
