[issue28460] Minidom, order of attributes, datachars

I'll close this as a duplicate of issue 34160.

I'm aware that you also proposed to reduce the text escaping, but it's still 
needed for attribute values. Not sure if it's really worth having two different 
escape functions. Feel free to provide a PR and create a new ticket for this, 
so that we can discuss a specific change proposal. It's not good to discuss 
more than one topic per ticket.

[issue28460] Minidom, order of attributes, datachars

[Petr Pulc]

New submission from Petr Pulc:

Hello,
just an idea for improvement of minidom.

Sometimes it is not convenient that the element attributes are sorted 
alphabetically.

Usually, users do hack the minidom file themselves to force some behaviour, yet 
the order can be quite nicely defined by the DTD, for example.

More on the "issue" side is another idea for improvement. Not all special 
characters do need to be changed to entities. For example, only < needs to be 
changed to entity in text data. I guess, that the _write_data function could be 
then diminished as well...

What do you mean of these two ideas? Comments will be appreciated.
