It is in 2.3 onwards, and reasonably recent PyXML versions. Earlier 
versions don't do character encoding, you always get Unicode strings out.

(Note, you still can't encode to a character set which doesn't include 
all characters used in content; minidom will currently produce an error 
rather than trying to escape unencodable characters with character 
references.)
