Description:
------------
on
$xml="<a><b>abc</b><c/></a>";
$xmldoc = new DOMDocument();
$xmldoc->loadXML($xml);
I get for
echo "item 0=".$xmldoc->childNodes->item(0)->nodeName."\n";
echo "root =".$xmldoc->document_element->nodeName."\n";
the output:
item 0=a
root=
I assumed that document_element should be the same as childNodes->item(0), so I assume that is a bug.

Actually:
if ( !$xmldocu->document_element )
  echo "NULL Document";
reveals a NULL root node !  Thats actually a bug.  Please either correct this behaviour or describe whats meant by "document_element" in the documentation.

Sorry, I misspelled the item: document_element is called documentElement.
