Description:
------------
After using the DOM-Objects (e. g. DOMDocument, DOMNode, ...) for parsing a XML file I got angry, because the source file was iso-8895-1 (and both the DOMDocument->xmlEncoding and DOMDocument->encoding told me "iso-8895-1") but the output was utf-8.
After some minutes I expected that on the Introduction page of DOM the following note is written:
"DOM extension uses UTF-8 encoding. Use utf8_encode() and utf8_decode() to work with texts in ISO-8859-1 encoding or Iconv for other encodings"

Well this node is missing on the pages where the content access is described.
E. g. DOMNode->textContent, DOMNode->nodeValue, DOMElement->GetAttribute, and so forth.


I personally whould like to have an implemented auto-change-encoding to whatever-you-want, but this is not part of the DOM specification. :(

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

I added the note to the common DOM classes; DOMDocument, DOMNode and DOMElement on their synopsis pages.
