[issue18990] Return root element from ElementTree.XMLPullParser.close() to match ElementTree.XMLParser

[Nick Coghlan]

Nick Coghlan added the comment:

I clarified the issue title to actually explain the concern and the proposed fix (i.e. close() on XMLPullParser doesn't currently return the root, which is inconsistent with the XMLParser API).

This sounds like a reasonable change to me, but the docs also need to be updated.
