Summary: xmlrpclib can produce ill-formed XML

Initial Comment:
I discovered this when a control character got into a 
string.

import xmlrpclib
data = xmlrpclib.dumps( (chr(17),) )
print data

The resulting XML output isn't well-formed, because 
chr(17) isn't a legal character.  The fix is 
conceptually simple -- just check for illegal 
characters in the dump_string() method -- but I'm not 
sure how to do this check efficiently.  Fredrik, 
would it be OK with you to use a regex?
