While we're cleaning up:
       data = child.data
       if not data:
could be
       if not child.data:
since data is not used again.

Alternatively, you could use data in place of child.data later on for a
small speed-up, but I doubt that we care about such small optimizations
here. If we do, then we should also assign a name to child.nextSibling,
though.

I found the three-line duplication between the two branches mildly
refactor-worthy, but when I eliminated it the control logic got more
involved and I don't think that's a good trade-off here.
