twisted/xish/domish.py bug breaks jabber protocol implementation

Hi,

On an application I'm working on which uses Twisted jabber protocol
implementation, I've encountered a bug in twisted.xish.domish which
makes it incompatible with some jabber clients which are unfortunately 
deployed where the app is going to be used. This bug was fixed some 
times ago in twisted SVN. Could you consider applying the following
tiny patch to the next upload of python-twisted? It comes straight from
the subversion rep of twisted, and fixes the bug.

Uh, according to report, "This bug was fixed some times ago in twisted SVN". It was just a request for a 
backport of a bugfix to the debian package. Closed.
