version 1.3. Some of the new features are:
* The various parsing functions now take a *parser* keyword argument

* ElementTree's code for converting trees to a string has been
significantly reworked, making it roughly twice as fast in many
cases. The :class:`ElementTree` :meth:`write` and :class:`Element`
:meth:`write` methods now have a *method* parameter that can be

and :meth:`Element.write` methods now have a *method* parameter that can be
"xml" (the default), "html", or "text". HTML mode will output empty
elements as ``<empty></empty>`` instead of ``<empty/>``, and text
mode will skip over elements and only output the text chunks. If

declarations are now output on the root element, not scattered throughout
the resulting XML. You can set the default namespace for a tree
by setting the :attr:`default_namespace` attribute and can
register new prefixes with :meth:`register_namespace`. In XML mode,
register new prefixes with :meth:`~xml.etree.ElementTree.register_namespace`. In XML mode,
you can use the true/false *xml_declaration* parameter to suppress the
XML declaration.

sequences, so it's easy to move children from one element to
another::
