Items with a `datetime` type are converted to ISO format strings. Items with a `none` type become empty XML elements.

The root object passed into the `dicttoxml` function can be any of the supported data types.

To satisfy XML syntax, the method wraps all the dict keys/elements and values in a `<root> ... </root>` element. However, this can be disabled to create XML snippets.

For lists of items, if each item is also a collection data type (`lists`, `dict`), the elements of that item are wrapped in a generic `<item> ... </item>` element.

Each elements includes a `type` attribute with the data type. Note: `datetime` data types are converted into ISO format strings, and `unicode` and `datetime` data types get a `str` attribute.

    Python -> XML
    integer   int
    float     float
    string    str
    unicode   str
    datetime  str
    None      null
    boolean   bool
    list      list
    set       list
    tuple     list
    dict      dict

Elements with an unsupported data type raise a TypeError exception.
