"""illustrates an explicit way to persist an XML document expressed using ElementTree.
This example explicitly marshals/unmarshals the ElementTree document into
mapped entities which have their own tables. Compare to pickle.py which
uses pickle to accomplish the same task. Note that the usage of both
styles of persistence are identical, as is the structure of the main Document class.
