If we can agree on the behavior, I would be glad to write up a patch.

It seems to me that the simplest way to proceed would be for the code 
that attempts to resolve character references (both named and numeric) 
in attributes to be isolated in a single method.  Subclasses that desire 
different behavior (including the existing Python 2.4 and prior 
behaviour) could simply override this method.
