Here's a text version (based on the existing PythonDoc
documentation). Feel free to grab it and convert it to
Latex.

There's an open question on whether this should be
documented as xml.etree or xmlcore.etree.

With the introduction of the xmlcore package in Python 2.5,
should we document xml.etree or xmlcore.etree? If someone
installs PyXML with Python 2.5, I don't think they're going
to get xml.etree, which will be really confusing. We can be
sure that xmlcore.etree will be there.

I'd rather not propogate the pain caused "xml" package
insanity any further.

I left it as it is which I think is xml.etree. I don't know
which is correct, but at least we have something in svn that
is better than nothing. Feel free to change it to whatever
you want.

Thanks Engelbert.
