XML-RPC supports only a very small set of elementary types - and
"DOM instance" does not belong to this set.

Thus, you must ask your server administrator as what type the server
expects to get the XML (this may either by "string" or "binary"; I suppose,
it will be "binary"). You then convert your DOM instance into an
XML document, potentially using an appropriate encoding (likely "utf-8"),
and potentially wrap it into "xmlrpclib"'s "binary" wrapper (in case,
the server expects a binary string).
