This patch should cover merge-lst-to-xml . Hence I'm tagging the bug
+patch, but note that the actual patch should contain both mine and
Ben's slices.

The patch to port to the new etree module should be fine, but I'm unable
to test the actual script as I don't know its logics. If someone can
provide some test data, I'd happily put everything together and test

Cheers.
