Not sure if I buy this reason. The name that may make sense in the
context of ElementTree may not make sense in the context of Markdown.
A typical user doesn't even need to know we are using ElementTree. We
should pick a name that makes sense to us.

We can use underscores or not, but I wouldn't support both, because
this would invite confusion. I would, however, provide "html" and
"xhtml" as shortcuts. So, perhaps ['html', 'html4'] and ['xhtml',
'xhtml1']. If we later decide to support xhtml 2.0 and make it the
default, we can have one handler for ['xhtml1'] and another one for
['xhtml', 'xhtml2'].

Where did you find this? The license that accompanies the last release
(1.2.7) and shows up svn
(http://svn.effbot.org/public/elementtree/README) is vaguely BSD-ish,
but is not quite BSD, and appears to prohibit redistribution for a
fee. Did they change it since?
