Having used both ElementTree and xml.dom, I don't see that ET is any 
more powerful.  Both APIs let you manipulate an XML tree in pretty much 
any way possible.  (The ET bundled with Python is rather less powerful, 
since it lacks support for processing instructions and other XML 
features, but lxml corrects that.)

Personally, I find ElementTree's handling of text nodes to be very 
clumsy compared to that in the DOM.  For me, DOM with XPath is much 
nicer than ET.  Tastes differ, of course.
