FWIW, Fredrik, who is the creator of ElementTree, had a preference for JavaDoc 
conventions, as explained here: http://bugs.python.org/issue6488#msg102087

They are compatible with the tool PythonDoc, authored by Fredrik too:
http://www.effbot.org/zone/pythondoc.htm


However, I agree it makes sense to turn them into docstrings if the package is 
only maintained in the standard library.


BTW, the issue 6488 is still opened. I did not check if there's something left 
to do before to close it.
There's also a patch attached to issue 2864, which need some review.

----------
dependencies: +ElementTree documentation refers to "path" with no explanation, 
and inconsistently
nosy: +effbot
