[issue18304] ElementTree -- provide a way to ignore namespace in tags and seaches

[Stefan Behnel]

Stefan Behnel added the comment:

There's also the QName class which can be used to split qualified tag names. And it's pretty trivial to pre-process the entire tree by stripping all namespaces from it the intention is really to do namespace agnostic processing. However, in my experience, most people who want to do that haven't actually understood namespaces (although, admittedly, sometimes it's those who designed the XML format who didn't understand namespaces ...).
