New submission from Goffi <go...@goffi.org>:

G'day,

While translating my software to french, I realised that minidom's writexml 
method doesn't handle "encoding" parameter correctly: it changes the header of 
the resulting xml, but not the encoding itself (which it should according to 
the documentation: http://docs.python.org/library/xml.dom.minidom.html).

The given example doesn't work with writexml; but if I save by myself using the 
toxml's encoding parameter (like in the commented line), it works as expected.

Anyway, it would be better if minidom could handle unicode string directly.
