Description:
------------
While writing test cases on Oslo TestFest 2009 I just found that the $dom->formatOutput does not work with $dom->saveHTML() (even though it seems to have been resolved here: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=35673)

xmllint says:

$ xmllint --format --html output.html 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>This is the title</title>
</head></html>

so according to Hannes here this seems to be a bug in PHP 5.3 (may be that it's fixed i HEAD but not backported?).

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$doc = new DOMDocument('1.0');
$doc->formatOutput = true;
$root = $doc->createElement('html');
$root = $doc->appendChild($root);
$head = $doc->createElement('head');
$head = $root->appendChild($head);
$title = $doc->createElement('title');
$title = $head->appendChild($title);
$text = $doc->createTextNode('This is the title');
$text = $title->appendChild($text);
echo $doc->saveHTML();
?>

Expected result:
----------------
<html>
  <head>
    <title>This is the title</title>
  </head>
</html>

Actual result:
--------------
<html><head><title>This is the title</title></head></html>

RIght, that never was backported to the 5_3 branch. But we're currently 
in a commit freeze, so I can't check it in, but will as soon as I am 
allowed to do it.

That's the patch by the way:

Rob: I applied the patch to 5_3, but it doesn't format with libxml 
2.7.3, do you know something, what's wrong here? Although, I didn't test 
with 2.6.23.

I got '<html><head><title>This is the title</title></head></html>' on 5_2, 5_3 and HEAD using saveHTML(), and using saveHTMLfile() I got:
<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>This is the title</title>
</head></html>

marking this as duplicate of bug #35673 which has now been merged into the the 5_3 
tree. Note that your example will not work because HTML output is only formatted 
when in the context of an HTML document (must have been loaded via loadHTML/File) 
- due to the limited HTML support in DOM extension.
