[issue18304] ElementTree gets awkward to use if there is an xmlns

[Stefan Behnel]

Stefan Behnel added the comment:

FWIW, lxml.etree supports wildcards like '{*}tag' in searches, and this is otherwise quite rarely a problem in practice.

I'm -1 on the proposed feature and wouldn't mind rejecting this all together. (At least change the title to something more appropriate.)
