being how XML works you can only have 1 Document Node. So I don't see how this
would be an issue.
You can however create a form DOM Element. it will be associated with the
document node however again you can't really have more than 1 to begin with
so?

Why? I don't see any reason to have an Element be separate from the main
Document?
Even tho it will be associated with that Document. you still have full access
as to where it goes.
you could even make that form the main node.

$form = DOMDocument('form');
