| I've added a new directory, demo/genxml/, to the CVS repository.
| The demo shows how to generate XML from a non-XML source using DOM,
| SAX, and <file>.write().

Great! This sounds very useful.

| One issue: when using xml.sax.saxutils.Canonizer, the newlines that
| I pass in through <canonizer>.ignorableWhitespace() are written out as 
| &#10; rather than actual newlines; is that right?

It used to be, but I haven't checked the W3C draft yet.

In any case, Canonizer might not be the thing to use, since it does
stuff like sorting attributes by name etc, which might not be
desirable. 

I think Geir Ove has some pretty-printing DocumentHandler somewhere in
xmlarch and there may be another one as well. Those are probably much
better choices for this.
