Summary: Node.replaceChild broken in minidom

Details: 
In xml.dom.minidom, Node.replaceChild doesn't replace any children.  The definition from the source is:

    def replaceChild(self, newChild, oldChild):
        index = self.childNodes.index(oldChild)
        self.childNodes[index] = oldChild

Is there a good reason why it's not the following?

    def replaceChild(self, newChild, oldChild):
        index = self.childNodes.index(oldChild)
        self.childNodes[index] = newChild

Sorry if this is a repeat report or addresses a design
decision for the "mini" of minidom.  Sorry also that 
I'm clueless about the Unix-style patch system -- this
is as close as I come to submitting a fix. :-)
