Content
Patch updated (tostring() and tostringlist() refet to write() about short_empty_elements parameter). Perhaps descriptions of encoding and method parameters should not be repeated too? > Why do you force short_empty_elements to be keyword only? Because sequences of parameters in XMLGenerator(), ElementTree.write(), ElementTree.tostring() are different and this can confuse. Also it will be easer to deprecate or rename keyword-only parameter in future (in favor of general fabric for example). I think that all optional, non-basic and very rarely used parameters should by keyword-only.
