The Lib/xml/dom/minicompat.py module doesn't appear to have any test coverage, probably because it's not the largest or most exciting of modules! :-) I therefore attach a patch to add test coverage for the EmptyNodeList and NodeList classes. I can add tests for the defproperty function if this patch proves acceptable.

The patch adds a new file (Lib/test/test_xml_dom_minicompat.py) and modifies one line of an existing file (Lib/test/xmltests.py)

I've used Python 3.3.0a0, courtesy of Brett's devinabox, but should be back-portable to older versions of Python.
