Description:
------------
It seems that saving a DOMDocument which is loaded with LIBXML_NOXMLDECL doesn't avoid to get the xml declaration.
It is a big problem to produce a xhtml document for internet because  IE6 is not dead yet.

Tested with libxml2 2.6.32 and 2.7.2

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$xml = '<myxml/>';

$doc = new DOMDocument();
$doc->loadXml($xml, LIBXML_NOXMLDECL);

echo $doc->saveXML();

Expected result:
----------------
<myxml/>

Actual result:
--------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<myxml/>

That is a save option which hasn't yet been implemented so has never 
worked

This is not "bogus" at all.  See http://www.php.net/manual/en/libxml.constants.php:

  LIBXML_NOXMLDECL  ( integer )
    Drop the XML declaration when saving a document 

From that, I'd expect saveXML to drop the XML declaration as promised, but it does not, so it's broken.  See also http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50989.

It is stoll not fixed and its very annoying, if you want to create XML documents without declaration. Bug #50989 works for me, but its still no satisfying solution.

Fix this either in PHP or at least in the Documentation.

Is there any update about this issue? If it doesn't work, and it will not work, please update the documentation since that it is a fake right now.
