[issue6233] ElementTree (py3k) doesn't properly encode characters that can't be represented in the specified encoding

[Fredrik Lundh]

Fredrik Lundh <fredrik at effbot.org> added the comment:

Umm.  Isn't _encode used to encode tags and attribute names?  The charref 
syntax is only valid in CDATA sections and attribute values, which are 
encoded by the corresponding _escape functions.  I suspect this patch will 
make things blow up on a non-ASCII tag/attribute name.
