You're planning to implement EntityReference in minidom? That'll be fun! 
:-) One of the nastier corners of DOM and XML in general.

I hacked up an experimental test harness for the W3 DOM Test Suite in 
order to test my own imp; you might find it useful:

The TS is far from definitive, but its tests for Level 1 and 2 are to 
the best of my knowledge accurate.

Incidentally minidom falls far short of passing even Level 1 Core for 
more reasons than omission of EntityReference. I noted the main known 
problems with it here:

Good luck!
