Adopted from the documentation:
The Element type is a flexible container object, designed to store hierarchical
data structures in memory. The type can be described as a cross between a list
and a dictionary.
Each element has a number of properties associated with it:
* a tag. This is a string identifying what kind of data this element
represents (the element type, in other words).
* a number of attributes, stored in a Python dictionary.
* a text string.
* an optional tail string.
* a number of child elements, stored in a Python sequence
The ElementTree class can be used to wrap an element structure, and convert it
from and to XML.
