The current ElementTree package shipped with Python is ElementTree 1.2.6.
ElementTree 1.3 has certain good features in handing XPaths which would
be a nice addition to the default xml.etree.

I don't know why ElementTree 1.2.6 was chosen initially.
I don't find any request for the upgrade.

So opening this one.

Oh wait. I read at effbot.org that ElementTree 1.3 is Alpha Release.
Is this the reason for not including it? If it's still unstable, then
please ignore this.

Too late for 3.1
