BTW, I found that lxml and ET differ in their behaviour when searching for ''. ET takes it as meaning "any tree node", whereas lxml interprets it as "any Element". Since ET's parser does not create comments and processing instructions by default, this does not make a difference in most cases, but when the tree contains comments or PIs, then they will be found by '' in ET but not in lxml. At least for "{}", they now both return only Elements. Changing either behaviour for '*' is probably not a good idea at this point.
