[XML-SIG] xml.dom.core update

[Fred L. Drake]

  This patch fixes the Document.createElement() interface to accept
either or both a dictionary of attribute name/value pairs or keywords
on the command line.  This fixes problems with the EsisBuilder as well 
as making the interface more flexible.
  Document.toxml() now uses all its children to generate the XML
representation; this ensures that processing instructions and comments 
will be included exactly as they are included in the tree.
  Andrew, please integrate these with the CVS repo.  This is just what 
we talked about earlier today.
