Description:
------------
There are new problems with DOM and loadHTMLFile

If a document has  the default namespace http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml the namespace is duplicated.


There is a bug page at:
http://lamp2.fhstp.ac.at/~lbz/beispiele/ss2009/bug/

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
@$dom=domDocument::loadHTMLFile("http://www.w3.org/");
header("Content-type:text/xml");
echo $dom->saveXML($dom->documentElement);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Well formed XML.

Actual result:
--------------
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" ...

(duplicate namespace)

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

loadHTMLfile doesn't know anything about namespace (like HTML4) and 
therefore the outcome is unpredictable, use loadxml() to have namespaces 
treated correctly
