Attached is a patch for ElementTree (based on a checkout from the SVN 
trunk's xmlcore.etree) that seems to perform better escaping of cdata and 
attribute values.  Instead of replacing, for example "&quote;" with 
"&quote;" or "&" with "&", it tries to avoid requoting 
ampersands in things that look like entities.

Sorry, I haven't tested this with anything except Python 2.4, I'm not quite 
sure what to do about _encode_entity, and I haven't patched any tests or 
written a new one for this change.  Consider this more of a RFC than a 
patch ready-for-submission as a result.

Sorry, the tracker doesn't seem to want to allow me to upload the file.  See

OP: You did check the box?

Egads, I did this time.

I'm not sure I follow.  ET works on the infoset side of
things, where everything is decoded into Unicode strings (or
compatible ASCII strings).  If you set an attribute to
"&" in the infoset, it *must* be encoded on the way out.  
If you want an ampersand, use "&".

Doh, of course.  Sorry, I suspect I'll need to go to remedial XML class.  Ignore 
this.
