[docs] [issue24079] xml.etree.ElementTree.Element.text does not conform to the documentation

[Jérôme Laurens]

Jérôme Laurens added the comment:

The totsstring(..., method='text') is not suitable for the inner text because it adds the tail of the top element.

A proper implementation would be

def innertext(elt):
    return (elt.text or '') +''.join(innertext(e)+e.tail for e in elt)

that can be included in the doc instead of the mention of the to string trick
