I added the line print(str(doc)) after the call to getDomImplementation and verified that the errors that I'm seeing are coming from the xml.dom.minidom implemenation of xml.dom.  Checking minidom.py I did not see any validation on the tagName that gets passed to createElement.  http://www.w3.org/TR/xml11/#NT-NameStartChar lists the format of allowed names.  Attached is a file containing the functions I was working on.  My thinking is that if the tagName is not valid a ValueError should be thrown.
