[issue24724] Element.findall documentation misleading

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

The phrase occurs in https://docs.python.org/3/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html#finding-interesting-elements

I think it should say, "In this example, Element.findall() finds only elements with a tag which are direct children of the current element."

Later it accurately says that, "More sophisticated specification of which elements to look for is possible by using XPath."
