Summary: Badly formed XML using etree and utf-16
Initial Comment:
Hello,
The bug occurs when writing an XML file using the UTF-16 encoding.
The problem is that the etree encodes every string to utf-16 by itself -
meaning, inserting the 0xfffe BOM before every string (tag, text, attribute
name, etc.), causing a badly formed utf=16 strings.
A possible solution, which was offered by a co-worker of mine, was to use a
utf-16 writer (from codecs.getwriter('utf-16') to write the file.
Best,
BugoK.

ET's standard serializer currently only supports ASCII-compatible
encodings. See e.g.
http://effbot.python-hosting.com/ticket/47
The best workaround for ET 1.2 (Python 2.5) is probably to serialize as
"utf-8" and transcode:
out = unicode(ET.tostring(elem), "utf-8").encode(...)
