Folding the two implementations together in the standard library would mean officially declaring that xml.etree is now an independently maintained fork of Fredrik's version rather than just a "snapshot in time" of a particular version (which is what it has been historically).

Is ElementTree even still maintained externally? I seem to remember Florent going through headaches to get changes into this area, and I can't find an external repository for this code.
