New submission from Florent Xicluna <florent.xicl...@gmail.com>:
>>> import copy
>>> from xml.dom import minidom
>>> doc = minidom.parseString('<root/>')
>>> doc2 = copy.deepcopy(doc)
>>> doc.toxml()
u'<?xml version="1.0" ?><root/>'
>>> doc2.toxml()
u'<?xml version="1.0" ?><root/><root/>'
>>> minidom.parseString(doc2.toxml())
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
ExpatError: junk after document element: line 1, column 2
The workaround is to use doc.cloneNode(True).
