+EmeraldTree is a fork of ElementTree - the main differences are:
+
+- It has a slightly different API for handling of text: it uses unicode objects
+  as children (not as "tail" attributes of the elements)
+- API cleanups, removing backward compatibility
+- Better unicode support
+- PolyglotWriter (for writing html5 that is also well-formed xml)
+- Other improvements / optimizations
