Commits related to strings, encodings, and allowed characters.

  • Check that all strings consists of allowed XML characters (no\ufffe, \uffff, or surrogates).
  • Check that names are valid as specified in current XML standard, which is more tolerant than earlier, outdated editions (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-Name vs. http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-20060816/#NT-Name)
  • Python 2 expects __repr__ to return str, not unicode, and wrong type may lead to UnicodeEncodeError. Fix this.
  • Some test contained _str('ha\u1234\x07ho') or similar things. The \u escape does not work on python 2 '' string, unless we do some magic.

Validate names accordingy to XML 1.0 standard fifth edition, instead of
the outdated fourth edition. (See also Namespaces in XML 1.0 third edition.)
