Validating cElementTrees with lxml

[Ryan K]

If I have a cElementTree.El ementTree (or the one from the Standard
Library), can I use lxml's validation features on it since it
implements the same ElementTree API?

Thanks,
Ryan

I've not used lxml ... the answer depends on whether the lxml
validation features use only the published API when accessing the
tree.

Why not build your tree with lxml?
