Stefan Behnel added the comment: Asking users unconditionally to use the "xmlcharrefreplace" replacement method seems wrong for UTF-8. It should not be necessary. We should, however, document explicitly that the file will receive text and not bytes, i.e. that users are themselves responsible

R. David Murray added the comment: It means a function defined in the module namespace, as opposed to as a method on a class, so that 'from xml.dom.minidom import ' will get you that function. This issue should be for documentation of the problem, since we won't add the function to 2.7. A ne
