Summary: illigal characters have not been escaped

Initial Comment:

characters with the code above 127 have been written to the xml file by
Text,
but minidom couldn't open the xml file because it contained illigal
characters.
(it was not represented as well formed in ms ie as well)

the supplied patch escapes all characters above 127 (including unicode) in
ordinary 
hex character reference notation (&#xnnnn;)

of course this only the representaion in the xml file, after loading the
file the data is
well represented as unicode or 8-bit character

python 2.0
pyxml 0.6.5

I would be thankful if you would supply this patch to minidom.py
