Remove all namespace declarations from a subtree that are not used
    by any of the elements or attributes in that tree.

If a 'top_nsmap' is provided, it must be a mapping from prefixes
    to namespace URIs.  These namespaces will be declared on the top
    element of the subtree before running the cleanup, which allows
    moving namespace declarations to the top of the tree.

If a 'keep_ns_prefixes' is provided, it must be a list of prefixes.
    These prefixes will not be removed as part of the cleanup.

Delete all elements with the provided tag names from a tree or

    will also remove the tail text of the element unless you

Note that this will not delete the element (or ElementTree root

    its tag name directly before even calling this function.
