New submission from Bill Janssen <bill.janssen at gmail.com>:
Right now, the encoding argument added to
xml.dom.minidom.DOMObject.toxml() in Python 2.3 seems fairly useless.
It has to be UTF-8. But a one-line change to the implementation of
toprettyxml would make it useful; instead of the encoding error method
being "strict", make it "xmlcharrefreplace". So change
writer = codecs.lookup(encoding)[3](writer)
to
writer = codecs.lookup(encoding)[3](writer, "xmlcharrefreplace")
