We should document both, separately.

xhtml1 -> outputs XHTML 1.x
xhtml -> outputs some version of XHTML, whatever we decide is best
(currently XHTML 1.1)
html4 -> outputs HTML4.x
html -> outpus some version of HTML, whatever we decide makes most
sense (HTML 4.0 now, but could be HTML 5 tomorrow)

"output_format" is fine.

It looks like this usage of "without fee" is quite common in older
licenses. It may or may not be BSD compatible. If it's not, then we
cannot include chunks of ElementTree and distribute the whole thing
under the BSD license. This is a serious issue - we might get dropped
from Debian for this. ET is probably now distributed under a different
license (PSF?), but to keep it simple, I think we should ask if we can
distribute this file under BSD.
