New submission from bastik:
When trying to generate an XML file with 'xml.etree.ElementTree', there is no
way to specify a doctype (example below).
The 'xml.etree.ElementTree.ElementTree.write' method has a 'xml_declaration'
flag, which can be used as workaround, but there is no such flag for
'xml.etree.ElementTree.tostring' (and it is not always desirable to write the
XML document directly to file). Please compare the corresponding flags in lxml.
Here is an example for a document I would like to generate and convert to
string:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<html><body>text</body></html>
