`xml.etree.ElementTree` — doesn't allow specifying fine-grained formatting controls

(Note: I already have a PR and this is a tracking issue.)

Enhancement

XML is maddening from a Git perspective, as if multiple tools will edit it, you'll get lots of lines in the diff that aren't needed.

For example:

diff --git a/sources/designspace/Besley.designspace b/sources/designspace/Besley.designspace
index d247944..eecb985 100644
--- a/sources/designspace/Besley.designspace
+++ b/sources/designspace/Besley.designspace
@@ -1,4 +1,4 @@
-<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

And:

diff --git a/sources/designspace/Besley.designspace b/sources/designspace/Besley.designspace
index d247944..9d570dd 100644
--- a/sources/designspace/Besley.designspace

There are likely other issues, but I only needed to solve these two.

Empieza revisando el pull request existente mencionado en el issue y el comportamiento de formato de xml.etree.ElementTree que modifica. El trabajo estará completo cuando los llamadores puedan controlar de forma independiente el uso de comillas en la declaración XML y el formato de los elementos vacíos, con cobertura para ambos ejemplos mostrados.
