+- Issue #2746: Don't escape ampersands and angle brackets ("&", "<", ">")
+ in XML processing instructions and comments. These raw characters are
+ allowed by the XML specification, and are necessary when outputting e.g.
+ PHP code in a processing instruction. Patch by Neil Muller.

- Issue #6233: ElementTree failed converting unicode characters to XML
entities when they could't be represented in the requested output
encoding. Patch by Jerry Chen.
