[Python-Dev] Update xml.etree.ElementTree for Python 2.7 and 3.2

I see one: Fredrik will not consider such a fork amicable. Of course, if
you could make him state in public that he is fine with a procedure that
you propose, go ahead. He had stated in public that he is fine with the
procedure I'm defending right now, that's why I'm defending it: no
substantial changes without his explicit approval (breakage due to
language changes is about the only exception - not even bug fixes are
allowed).
