New submission from Stefan Behnel <stefan...@behnel.de>:

The TreeBuilder in xml.etree.ElementTree ignores comments and processing 
instructions. It should at least have a way to pass them through, even if there 
is not currently a way to append comments and PIs to the tree when they appear 
*outside* of the root element.

The pull parser interface would directly benefit from this, because it can then 
report "comment" and "pi" events.
