Description:
------------
DOMNodeList seems to be returning wrong objects.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class element extends DOMElement {
}

$doc = new DOMDocument;

$e = new element("e");
$doc->appendChild($e);

$e = new element("e");
$doc->appendChild($e);

$e = new element("e");
$doc->appendChild($e);

$nodeList = $doc->getElementsByTagName("e");
foreach($nodeList as $element) {
    var_dump(get_class($element));
}


Expected result:
----------------
string(7) "element"
string(7) "element"
string(7) "element"

Actual result:
--------------
string(10) "DOMElement"
string(10) "DOMElement"
string(7) "element"

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

Expected behaviour. Should change in PHP 6, AFAIK

(and if you assign it to different variables, it does return 
what you expect, too)
