[issue1399] XML codec

[Marc-Andre Lemburg]

Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment:

Leaving the module name as "xml" would remove that name from the
namespace of possible encodings.

"xml" as encoding name is problematic, as many people regard writing
data in XML as "encoding the data in XML".

I'd simply not use it at all, not even for a codec that converts between
 Unicode and ASCII+XML entities.
