I just want to confirm a behavior: methods like append() or addnext() _move_ an existing _Element within the tree, including content and tail? I saw that documented somewhere but can’t quite find it right now.
Is that move behavior true for all methods that insert _Element objects?
To the best of my knowledge, yes. There's probably other places, some info can be found here: https://lxml.de/compatibility.html I.e. the part about the strict parent relationship in lxml a la W3C DOM.
