[issue5166] ElementTree and minidom don't prevent creation of not well-formed XML

[Martin Panter]

Martin Panter added the comment:

Issue 12129 is open about this sort of problem with xml.dom (which would also apply to minidom I think).

If someone wants to suggest a clarification for the Element Tree documentation, that might work. But I tend to agree about not bogging down the implementation.
