Hi,

the C implementation of ElementTree do not support namespaces for find/all/... .

To me this is a serious regression, as I rely on ElementTree namespace support, 
and 3.3 would break it with this change.
Breaking namespace support is a fundamental problem.

Please reconsider this therefore.

Code to reproduced attached - works fine with python 3.2.

As the C implementation of ElementTree and Element lack the namespace keyword 
for findall (and *all* the other methods), 
where namespaces are very important when dealing with xml, 
and it is not possible to prevent using the v implementation of ElementTree 
without changing the python install, 
I propose to revert this change.

Until the C implementation can do namespaces as well.
