Description:
------------
After some digging around and experimentation, I have found out that the DOM extension needs all input strings to be utf8-encoded. This means that any code using the extension must be spingled with urf8_encode.

The problem can probably not be fixed without breaking backward compatibility, so the most sane choice may be to leave it, but atleast update the documentation to state this.

Wrong.
The *default* input encoding is UTF8. But you can always use <?xml version="1.0" encoding="<your encoding>"?>.
All the result data are in UTF8 anyway, this is libxml2 feature.

Not true.

$mb_detect_charsets = "ASCII,UTF-8,ISO-8859-1";




$dom = new DOMDocument("1.0", "UTF-8");
$doc = $dom->appendChild($dom->createElement("document"));
$doc->appendChild($dom->createTextNode(utf8_encode("I?t?rn?ti?n?liz?ti?n")));

echo mb_detect_encoding($dom->saveXML(), $mb_detect_charsets) . "<br>";




$dom = new DOMDocument("1.0", "ISO-8859-1");
$doc = $dom->appendChild($dom->createElement("document"));
$doc->appendChild($dom->createTextNode(utf8_encode("I?t?rn?ti?n?liz?ti?n")));

echo mb_detect_encoding($dom->saveXML(), $mb_detect_charsets) . "<br>";

-------------------------------------------------------
outputs :
UTF-8
ISO-8859-1
-------------------------------------------------------
Removing ut8_encode crashes the second example.
