What precisely does that mean? Specific case in question: xml.dom.minidom.toxml does not support the specification of an encoding of the resulting XML document. Instead, if there are non-ASCII characters in the output document, it returns a Unicode object that starts with u"<?xml version='1.0' ?>". People cannot write this to a file as-is, and they cannot encode it in anything but UTF-8 (because the document would then be incorrect). So I added an optional encoding= argument to .toxml, for 2.3. The question now is: should that argument also be made available for 2.2.2? Regards, Martin
