xml.dom.minidom.parseString() doesn't accept Unicode.

[Dale Strickland-Clark]

Given that XML is very Unicode friendly, this seems a rather odd
limitation.

>>> import xml.dom.minidom
>>> dom = xml.dom.minidom.parseString(u'<node/>')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?

    buf = StringIO(string)
