I would be glad to divide your intentions, however ElementTree looks 
less documented than minidom, and is not full replacement. For example, 
I haven't found how to get XML encoding. Also, at use of ElementTree 
instead of minidom the suffix "ns0:" is added to each element. I do not 
see how to _create_ a new element and to write it with <?xml ...?> header.

And DOM interface is more habitual for those who works with some other 
languages.

MiniDOM quite suited me earlier in this respect. I will pass to C14N as 
soon as I will be can.

I thank, it is too bulky for my small scripts (which I have decided to 
update from Python 2.3 or 2.4 to modern Python 3 and 2.6+). I will 
better postpone high-grade migration for half-year or year while the 
Python 2.7 and 3.2 won't appear in stable versions of popular distributives.

I thank you for ET, it really is more convenient at some applications 
(especially at work with the text in elements).
