/and/ lxml.etree is compatible to ElementTree, so once you have written your
code for ElementTree, you can switch to lxml.etree if ever you need things
like XPath, XSLT or validation.

However, as I understand the OP, the question deals with old code, so porting
it to ET (i.e. reimplementing it) might not be that easy...
