Thanks (to both Fredrik and Just). You stare at XML too long and you
start to miss the obvious things too. =)
Everything works great now:
>>> text = open(filename).read()
>>> text = re.sub(r'<S ID=(\w+)', r'<S ID="\1"', text)
>>> text = text.decode('gbk').encode('utf-8')
>>> et.fromstring(text)
<Element 'DOC' at 00A2AF38>
