[XML-SIG] wstring encode

[Gabor Melis]

Yes, it throws a ConvertError exception. I think what you propose is
a good way to solve this problem, but unfortunately ;-) I found
another solution to my problem which doesn't require this.

Escaping legal (for a given encoding) characters is an other matter
and the application should handle that, just as toxml() does in the
xml.dom module.

Sorry about the big latency, G
