[issue5166] ElementTree and minidom don't prevent creation of not well-formed XML

[Denis S. Otkidach]

Every blog engine I've even seen so far pass through comments from
untrusted users to RSS/Atom feeds without proper validation causing
broken XML in feeds. Sure, this is a bug in web applications, but DOM
manipulation packages should prevent from creation broken XML to help
detecting errors earlier.
