I'm mostly using ElementTree because several classes/functions that I
need are not in cElementTree or behave differently.  Specifically, the
program loads TreeBuilder, XMLParser, iterparse from ElementTree; the
only class from cElementTree that works is Element.  A shortened version
of the program is available here:

By the way, this code is just one example of how one might rely on the
documented extensibility of ElementTree.  There are probably many other
examples out there that look nothing like mine.
