[docs] [issue18911] minidom does not encode correctly when calling Document.writexml

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

It means a function defined in the module namespace, as opposed to as a method on a class, so that 'from xml.dom.minidom import <somefunction>' will get you that function.

This issue should be for documentation of the problem, since we won't add the function to 2.7.  A new issue should be opened for the enhancement request of adding a module level convenience function for writing a dom out to a binary file.
