title: Preserving XML attribute order?
body: <p>I know this question has been asked in the past, but they have all been dated a few years back. I am wondering if there has been any changes made to Python modules such as lxml, minidom, or etree that will allow us to preserve the attribute order in XML files without patching.</p>
  
  <p>I need the order to be preserved as the program I am supplying the files to relies on it.</p>
  
  <p>If there are no updates, what's the easiest way to implement this?</p>
