Well, there's XPath for a standard:
https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/
ElementPath deviates from it in its namespace syntax (it allows "{ns}tag" where
XPath requires "p:tag" prefixes), but that's about it. All other differences
are basically needless limitations of ElementPath.
In fact, I had noticed these two limitations in lxml, so I implemented them for
the next release. And since ElementPath in ElementTree is still mostly the same
as ElementPath in lxml, here's the same thing for ET.
