I don't think you can solve problem 3 with that strategy, at least not
in the way you use the DOM.

The element name must be a Unicode string, likewise the attribute name
and the attribute value. The DOM is defined in terms of Unicode. It is
only that Python does not have strict static typing that you get away
with this kind of error.

To properly use the DOM, use Unicode strings throughout.
