Surely nobody is subclassing these classes. You don't subclass DOM interfaces--the DOM doesn't work that way. So this change should be OK. Right?

People are definitely subclassing those classes: http://www.google.com/codesearch?hl=en&lr=&q=class%5Cs%2B.%2B%5C%28.*minidom%5C.&btnG=Search

Whether any of those uses will break if switched to new-style class, I can't say.
