Thanks for pointing to that, I hadn't seen it yet. Apart from the few minor
inaccuracies that you only spot when you've actually written the code
behind what's described, I find it a very good article that's nicely
written. It's also nice to see that lxml's documentation can't be that bad
after all. I remember writing down many of the tweaks and hints that the
article mentions, so she must actually have read it! ;)

I also find the conclusion nicely heart-warming, starting with this sentence:

"Many software products come with the pick-two caveat, meaning that you
must choose only two: speed, flexibility, or readability. When used
carefully, lxml can provide all three."
