[XML-SIG] Parsing XML file with Minidom has problem with cr/lf

[Peterson, Wayne]

I am parsing an XML file with Python 2.6.5 minidom in Windows and it is
mostly working but minidom seems to have problems dealing with Windows
cr/lf characters. It creates an extra textnode that needs to be ignored
instead of just returning the xml elements. I have tried different
methods of opening the file but it doesn't seem to make a difference. It
is happiest when reading a file in Unix format.
