[issue18304] ElementTree gets awkward to use if there is an xmlns

Stefan Behnel added the comment:

FWIW, lxml.etree supports wildcards like '{*}tag' in searches, and this is otherwise quite rarely a problem in practice.

I'm -1 on the proposed feature and wouldn't mind rejecting this all together. (At least change the title to something more appropriate.)

[issue18304] ElementTree gets awkward to use if there is an xmlns [In reply to]

Bryce Nesbitt added the comment:

The mere existence of popular solutions like
'item.tag.split("}")[1][0:]' argues something is wrong. What could
lmxl do to make this cleaner (even if the ticket proposal is junk).
