Initial Comment:
Hi,

I found bug a whereby ">" is not properly escaped in 
written attribute values. It should be written as ">".

Here is some sample code

>>>from xml.dom.ext import PrettyPrint, Print
>>>from xml.dom.ext.reader import PyExpat
>>>tree = PyExpat.Reader().fromString("<e 
a='&lt;&gt;'/>")
>>>PrettyPrint(tree)

The output is

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<e a='&lt;>'/>

which is not well-formed.

I traced it down to the _xmlplus.dom.ext.Printer.py 
module, but didn't have the time to work through the 
code and develop a patch. Sorry. I figure it would be 
much easier for someone more familiar with the code.

Regards,

Alan.
