Yes, it's because of indentETree function. We don't have now any other 
way of managing output, maybe in future releases ElementTree will get 
some pretty print function, but there is no such for now. So we should 
modify indentETree, but we shouldn't throw it away :) Looked at your 
placeholder branch, now extractId looks much prettier and cleaner :)
