You could use the following (although not very pretty):

<?php

class Dom {
private $dom;

function __construct() {
$this->dom = new DomDocument;
}

function addElement($element) {
$dom = DomDocument::loadXML($element);
$node = $this->dom->importNode(
$dom->documentElement,
true
);
$this->dom->appendChild($node);
}

function saveXML() {
return $this->dom->saveXML();
}
}

$dom = new Dom;
$dom->addElement('<root foo="bar">test</root>');
print htmlentities($dom->saveXML());

?>
