The documentation from
http://www.effbot.org/zone/pythondoc-elementtree-ElementTree.htm
is missing. Without it the module is pretty much impossible to use,
unless you know about the effbot pages.

What do you mean?
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-xml.etree.ElementTree.html

an ElementTree instance holds a tree of Element instances which represents 
the XML tags. Element isn't documented.

in the effbot version, there's a page 
http://www.effbot.org/zone/pythondoc-elementtree-ElementTree.htm#elementtree.ElementTree._ElementInterface-class 
called
The elementtree.ElementTree Module
with a section

 The _ElementInterface Class

Despite the _ in the name, it's not an internal, it's the spec for the 
interface to the Element instances.

Ahh, but it is present in the new docs:
http://docs.python.org/dev/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html#the-element-interface.
