Emotion Markup Language (EmotionML) 1.0 - wa.., mom..., check calendar - no, it's not April 1st. facepalm.

Where the problems might lie? Well, Phil Ringnalda has described it quite well. And when I look at the above format description from Microsoft, I'm not really clear why they need this extension at all ...
Second p0st: cElementTree now has a C variant to speed up execution. This makes it a real alternative to other DOM implementations.
