I should have said that 'f' is a file object and xml is a XMLBuilder
object. Sorry. :-)

self.encoding is 'utf-8' by default.

I have only ® and ™ characters in the XML file and a space character
which Emacs shows as colored '_'. I have replaced those but didn't
work!

Here is the full code of xmlbuilder.py: http://rafb.net/p/9rURi822.html

I don't wanna bother you but if you see there is something not
practical then I'll keep writing about this. :-)
