There are two parallel discussions going on here:

1. The external ReST documentation
2. The internal docstring documentation

I opened the issue with (1) in focus, since it's more important IMHO. Not only 
for the usual reasons (most users don't go into the source to find docstrings), 
but also because ElementTree.py is just a "reference implementation" in 3.3, 
since the _elementtree extension is imported by default and is expected to be 
used on the vast majority of platforms.

Therefore, it's important to have external documentation serving essentially as 
an API spec implemented once in Python and once in C.

Not that I would object to docstring patches. But it doesn't appear Leon's work 
is progressing. In any case, I'll be focusing on the ReST docs.
