I would be extremely careful with this.. because sadly PHP's XML generator
uses the short form whenever possible.
<script /> will *NOT* work in most browsers such as FireFox.
<script></script> Will work.
I personally would love to see a function where I could set it to use the long
form. and when importing if it's in long form.. set that long from flag on
automatically .. this would have saved me _hours_ of debugging work.

are you trying to just generate the entire html page using only the XML
DOM? .. or are you doing this in conjunction with another language such as
XSL?
