[issue18850] xml.etree.ElementTree accepts control chars.

[Stefan Behnel]

Stefan Behnel added the comment:

Is that you actual use case? That you *want* to store binary data in XML, instead of getting it properly rejected as non well-formed content?

Then I suggest going the canonical route of passing it through base64 first, or any of the other binary-to-characters encoding.
