Thank you Eli and Ezio for your comments. I have made changes per your
suggestions and will upload the patch now.

Doc/library/xml.etree.elementtree.rst:69: tree = ET()
I apologize. I originally wrote examples that ran and then saw that the
development version of the docs already had examples, so I attempted to
change over mine to match.

I guess the only point of confusion I saw is that when parsing from a
file (as a above), rather than taking a file object, parse takes the
filename in the current working directory. I'll go ahead and remove it
though, unless you think this point is valid.

I'm not sure from the code review tool which line you mean, though I
think it is 159. Let me know if I'm wrong.
