I guess this is one source of confusion: what are you referring to an
an "import façade"?  When I look in Lib/xml/etree/, I see the ElementTree,
ElementPath, and ElementInclude modules, and a wrapper for cElementTree's
extension module.

There isn't any sort of façade for ElementTree; are you proposing to add
one, perhaps in xml.etree/__init__.py?
