Implementation based on minidom doesn't understand namespaces, it just shows
them among other attributes. ElementTree-based implementation doesn't show
namespaces at all. Implementation based on lxml.etree shows namespaces in a
-separate file "namespaces"; every child tag includes its parent's namespaces.
+separate file "namespaces".
It is useful to have a top-down view on an XML structure but it's especially
convenient to extract text values from tags. One can get, for example, a

+ With lxml.etree-based implementation show only child namespaces
