New submission from Moriyoshi Koizumi <mozo+pyt...@mozo.jp>: ElementTree doesn't correctly serialize end-of-line characters (#xa, #xd) in attribute values. Since bare end-of-line characters are converted to #x20 by the parser according to the specification [1], such characters that are represented as character references in the original document must be serialized in the same form.
