The documentation about namespace of ElemenTree (https://docs.python.org/3/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html#parsing-xml-with-namespaces) has a link for 'default namespace' to 'https://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-names-20060816/#defaulting'.
This page displays a big red message because the page is outdated. It can be replaced by the new one: https://www.w3.org/TR/xml-names/#defaulting

The content of the paragraph in the new version is equivalent to the old one.

I can provide a PR if you are interested.

Ah, yes, the 'big red message' nicely gives the replacement. Please submit a PR against master. Include a news blurb if you can (explained in the devguide). If you cannot set the backport labels (I don't know of non-committer author's are allowed to, mention that all 3 are needed in a comment (I checked 2.7 and 3.8).

Only committers (and the bots) can apply labels :) I've applied the necessary labels.

[Mariatta]

I think the news blurb is not needed though.

[terryjreedy]

Agreed. This could have been done without a PR.

I meant, could have been done without a bpo issue. And since the blurb was added, I kept it. Thanks 'sbondon'.
