Summary: xmlrpclib chokes on Unicode keys

Initial Comment:
the type check in dump_struct is too strict; I suggest 
changing the loop to:

        for k, v in value.items():
            write("<member>\n")
            if type(k) is UnicodeType:
                k = k.encode(self.encoding)
            elif type(k) is not StringType:
                raise TypeError, "dictionary key must 
be string"
            write("<name>%s</name>\n" % escape(k))
            dump(v, write)
            write("</member>\n")

ths applies to all Python versions since 2.2.  
backport as necessary.

regards /F
