Subject: [PATCH] fix: Test xml.etree.ElementTree.Element truth value by 'is
 not None'

* In Python 3.14 testing the truth value of an xml.etree.ElementTree.Element is
  deprecated and will raise an exception. As of Python 3.12 this behavior will
  raise a DeprecationWarning:

  ```
  DeprecationWarning: Testing an element's truth value will raise an exception
  in future versions.  Use specific 'len(elem)' or 'elem is not None' test
  instead.
  ```

  To avoid this, determine the truth element by using the 'elem is not None'
  method.
